What reading level is Visions And Revisions book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I wonder if that curious novel of Goethe's called the "ElectiveAffinities" is perused as widely as it deserves? That extraordinarycompany of people! And the patient, portentious interest Goethecompels us to take in the laying out of gardens and the beautifyingof church-yards! "The Captain, " "the Architect"--not to speak of thetwo bewildering women--do they not suggest fantastic figures out ofone's memories of remotest childhood? I suppose to a world-childlike Goethe, watching, with grave super...-human interest, all our littlepre-occupations, we have all of us something of the sweet pedantryof these people--we are all of us "Captains" and "Architects" withsome odd twist in our quiet heads.
The solemn immorality, amounting to outrageous indecency, ofthose scenes between the assorted lovers when they make "double"love, and behind the mask of their legitimate attachments followtheir "elective affinities, " is a thing that may well stagger the puritanreader. The puritan reader will, indeed, like old Carlyle, be temptedmore than once to fling these grave, unblushing chronicles, withtheir deep, oracular wisdom and their shameless details, into thedust-heap.
