Roger Ascham (1515/ 16– 1568) is a figure who is curiously both well and little known. He has, in modern times, given his name to the wooden case or cup- board in which archers store their gear. Ironically, this reflects the problem we face with Ascham: the outward packaging is now the Ascham we know. Particularly familiar to scholars of English Literature, he is often classified as ‘a mid- Tudor humanist’ and acclaimed for his role as tutor to Elizabeth i. His most famous works, The Scholemaster and Toxophilus, have been extensive- ly quarried and quoted in studies of vernacular prose style and English hu- manism. His abundant letters are routinely mined for insights into sixteenth- century culture. Yet there are many aspects of his life and multifaceted career that are simply omitted from literary critiques and historical accounts. Those of his works which have not been translated from Latin are almost completely unknown. Even Ascham’s better known works, such as The Scholemaster, have not been comprehensively contextualized. Interpretative frameworks for as- sessing Ascham have been considerably narrower than the full sweep of his activities, interests, concerns and networks warrant.
