What reading level is What to Expect of Shakespeare book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On those great social problems which, in this modern world of ours, fill so much space in the thoughts of all, Shakespeare again expresses himself with the force and pregnancy of a man of incomparable genius; but he speaks as a man of his time and of his milieu, not as a man above them. The foibles of the masses, their credulity, their fickleness, their alternate fits of enthusiasm and depression, their aptitude to cruelty, their inability to understand, are depicted with the stern accuracy of ...a clear-eyed, unfriendly observer. The 14 FIRST ANNUAL SHAKESPEARE LECTURE counterpart of such vices, or the extenuating circumstances resulting from involuntary ignorance, hardship, and misery are scarcely visible anywhere. The people, throughout the plays, are the same people, with the same faults, be they the Romans of Coriolanus or of Caesar, or the English of Jack Cade, or even the Danes of Hamlet (with their selection of Laertes for a king) ; they are the people. Shakespeare no more hesitates to offer them to the laugh and scorn of their brethren in the pit, than to-day's playwrights hesitate to ask a middle-class audience to laugh at the faults and folly of middle-class personages.
