Excerpt from Four Centuries of Greek Learning in England: Inaugural Lecture Delivered Before the University of Oxford on 8 March 1894
At the time of the Reformation there was apparently a wide diffusion of the new learning in the upper classes in England. We all know how Ascham found Lady Jane Grey reading her Plato, and he tells us also that the Princess (afterwards Queen) Elizabeth read Isocrates, Sophocles, and the Greek Testament with him.
