[edit] An 18,000-word novel?
I realize that novels have generally gotten shorter since the Victorian triple-decker days. But there should be some limit, and at 18,000 words The Lifted Veil falls short by almost any reasonable measure. I've changed the cats and classification in the article. It was odd to see this brief work listed with Middlemarch among "Novels by George Eliot". The complete tale of the tape, according to MS Word:
- Words: 17717
- Characters: 80966
- Paragraphs: 125
- Sentences: 560
- Sentences per paragraph: 5.1
- Words per sentence: 31.2
- Characters per word: 4.4
- Passive sentences: 13%
- Flesch reading ease: 59.5
- Flesch-Kincaid grade level: 11.0
