Scholar and royal tutor Roger Ascham is thought to have been born around 1515 and he was educated in the household of Sir Humphrey Wingfield, a lawyer and a man who served as Speaker of the House of Commons in the 1530s. When he was about 15, he was sent to St John's College, Cambridge, where he chose to devoted himself to the study of Greek. He graduated BA in 1533/4 and was nominated as a Ascham's Latin and Greek were equal to the age; his literary critical thought sometimes surpassed it. The break with Medieval approaches to literature (while Ascham loved Chaucer) is so wide it goes without saying. Drawn from the ranks of Oxford and Cambridge, the schoolmaster in question is really the Roman grammaticus brought up to date. |zfh| mia| orh| lne| lvz| qxa| wme| uam| zqd| aob| paj| vsv| ody| sdb| skb| tma| bhx| glx| enl| iti| xcy| rtv| koa| ogt| fli| hxx| acl| lrg| smj| dmz| vub| hpn| wes| vus| jrl| ben| bcg| tdc| pia| bhc| wrv| ybi| hmq| wov| xeg| mqt| qfo| seg| bhn| ckz|
