Roger Ascham (1515-1568) was one of the most likeable of the early humanists . He was Queen Elizabeth's tutor, and is best known for his enlightened book on education, The Schoolmaster. Ascham's style is formal, without being oppressively elaborate certainly less intricate than the prose of his most famous pupil On "quick wits" In an early work on the love of archery, Toxophilus, Ascham has some wise comments on wit, of particular appropriateness to many of Shakespeare's young lovers: Quick wits commonly be apt to take, unapt to keep; soon hot and desirous of this and that; as cold and soon weary of the same again; more quick to enter speedily than able to pierce far; even like oversharp tools, whose edges be very soon turned. . . And therefore the quick wits commonly may prove the best poets but not the wisest orators; ready of tongue to speak boldly, not deep of judgment either for good counsel or wise writing. Also, for manners and life, quick wits commonly be, in desire, newfangle* , in purpose, unconstant; light to promise anything, ready to forget everything, both benefit and injury; and thereby neither fast [faithful] to friend nor fearful of foe. . . of nature also always flattering their betters, envying their equals, despising their inferiors; and, by quickness of wit, very quick and ready to like none so well as themselves.

ASCHAM ASCHAM, ROGER (c. 1515-1568), English scholar and writer, ~s born. at Kirby Wiske, a village in the North Riding of )rkshire, near Northallerton, about the year I515. His name uld be more properly spelt Askham, being derived, doubtless, rn Askharn in the West Riding. He was the third son of John cham, steward to Lord Scrope of Bolton. The family name his mother Margaret is unknown, but she is said to have been 11 connected. The authority for this statement, as for most hers concerning Aschams early life, is Edward Grant, headtster of Westminster, who collected and edited his letters and livered a panegyrical oration on his life in 1576. Ascham was educated not at school, but in the house of Sir imphry Wingfield, a barrister, and in 1533 speaker of the )use of Commons, as Ascham himself tells us, in the Toxophilu.s, 120 (not, as by a mistake which originated with Grant and has en repeated ever since, Sir Anthony Wingfield, who was nephew any children brought up in his house, where they were under er tutor named R. Bond. Their sport was archery, and Sir A umphry himself would at term times bring down from or )ndon both bows and shafts and go with them himself to the Id and see them shoot. Hence Aschams earliest English m )rk, the Toxophslus, the importance which he attributed to or chery in educational establishments, and probably the pro- re sion for archery in the statutes of St Albans, Harrow and ye her Elizabethan schools. From this private tuition Ascham A: fore 1540, when the Regius professorship of Greek was estab- ac hed, Ascham was paid a handsome salary to profess the or eek tongue in public, and held also lectures in St Johns se dlege. He obtained from Edward Lee, then archbishop of P1 )rk, a pension of 2 a year, in return for which Ascham trans- th ed Oecumenius Commentaries on the Pauline Epistles. But be e archbishop, scenting heresy in some passage relating to the hi Irriage of the clergy, sent it back to him, with a present indeed, 15 t with something like a reprimand, to which Ascham answered Si th an assurance that he was no seeker after novelties, as he 1 lectures showed. He was on safer ground in writing in 1542 IX

Roger Ascham Roger Ascham acted as secretary to both Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth. He believed that education was fundamental for children in order for a state to be prosperous. He used humanist methods when teaching his students at the time because he viewed it as being important for the student to realize and understand what they were reading. Ascham favored an education system that was based on questions, discussion, and criticism. He preferred to teach in English rather than Latin and in 1545 he published his first book on the archery, which was entitled The Schoolmaster. He argues that students who learn the material being taught slower learns it more thoroughly than a student that speeds through a lesson. He transformed the traditional education system of the time into one that plays a role in the formation of the individual citizen. Summary of the excerpt from The Schoolmaster taken from the Longman Anthology Ascham starts this excerpt out by condemning the ways of current schoolmaster methods of the time. He says that if your student gets something wrong do not discourage him because it will dull his wits and it will affect his desire for learning. He then states that in his opinion it is better to use love rather than fear, gentleness rather than beatings in order to bring up a child in the right ways of learning. Ascham was very much opposed to beating children in school, which was a common practice at the time in England. He felt that the way of rearing children at the time was an ill service to God, the prince, and the whole country. He agreed that the children should be corrected in their learning as well as their manners but he did not agree with the way it was done. He cites an example of how a schoolmaster will be mad about an outside issue and take it out on his scholar by beating him. In actuality the schoolmaster is the one who should have been beaten for his mistake of taking it out on the scholar. These types of schoolmasters were found all over England. There were almost too many at the time that they would be considered beaters rather than correctors of wrong doings.

The perspective begins in the early reign of Henry VIII, when the dynasty is insecure. When Henry VIII decided to break with Rome, England blindly followed. Why? As this perspective's literature prove, Englishmen (and English women) were taught to be loyal to a hierarchical structure with God on the top and the common people on the bottom. Everyone knew their place within this society. When Herny VIII decreed England broke with Rome, very few people agrued.

Florentiae: apud Laurentium Torrentinum, 1552 The end of a six page dedicatory inscription by Roger Ascham to Reginald Pole (1500-1558), Cardinal and Archbishop of Canterbury, at the beginning of this volume. Ascham's signature is at the bottom, together with the date, 7 April 1555. Ascham (1515-1568) distinguished himself in classics at St John's and became a fellow in 1534, Tutor to Princess Elizabeth in 1548, Latin Secretary to Queen Mary in 1553 (in which position he was specially permitted to continue in his profession of Protestantism), and Private Tutor to Queen Elizabeth in 1558. The beauty of his handwriting brought him employment as the writer of official letters on behalf of Cambridge University. In 1545 he published Toxophilus, a treatise on archery, in which he had considerable skill. Toxophilus is still honoured by archers as the seminal treatise on their sport, and by literary historians as the most successful of early attempts to write a formal prose discourse in English.
