About the author
Roger Ascham
205 books2 followersborn circa 1515
English scholar Roger Ascham as Latin secretary to Edward VI, Mary I Tudor, and Elizabeth I advocated the use of the vernacular in literature.
Roger Ascham wrote his famous didactic prose promotional style and his theories of education. He acted as tutor of princess in Greek between 1548 and 1550 and served in the administrations.
From Askham near York, the name derived properly.
He lived in a village in the north riding near Northallerton as the third son of John Ascham, steward to Scrope, baron of Bolton. From the Conyers family, Margaret Ascham, his mother, supposedly came, according to speculation. Thomas Acham and John Ascham preceded Roger, and Anthony Ascham joined the family as the youngest son and brother. Edward Grant, better known headmaster of the royal college of Saint Peter at Westminster, his close friend, and the authority on his early life, collected and edited his letters and delivered an oral panegyric in 1576.
