Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a look into the life and work of 16th-century scholar and diplomat Sir Roger Ascham. Born in 1515, Ascham studied at St John's College, Cambridge, where he honed his skills in archery and Latin composition and began tutoring the children of noble families. It was in this period that he produced his influential Toxophilus, a dialogue advocating archery as a means of moral and physical education, that would later be cited by William Shakespeare in Hamlet. The volume includes Ascham's letters, which range from high diplomacy to relatively mundane business matters, and shed light on English court life and government in an era of religious and political turmoil.
