Excerpt from The Itinerary of John Leland, Vol. 1 of 3: In or About the Years 1535-1543

The renaissance of learning and literature which arose in the later years of Henry VII, when the ardour with which the introduction of Greek studies was greeted by English scholars carried them to France and Italy, and in return brought over the great Erasmus, was a movement which, in its gathering strength, powerfully affected men and events in the following reign. Henry VIII, himself a fair scholar in his brilliant youth, delighting in music, able in later days to wield the pen, encouraged learning and progress in many directions. His personality and ability commanded the alle giance of his people in spite of his faults. The energy which he and his ministers brought to bear upon politics both external and internal, on matters economic, administrative, and ecclesiastical, was responsive to the growing life of the people, and was responded to in turn. It was a time of broadening change, a thirst for knowledge was spreading, the leaven of the Wyclifite reforms was silently working, better education was being provided in school and college, a more modern spirit filled the age. It was the age of the wise Sir Thomas More, Sir Thomas Elyot, and the poets Wyatt and Surrey, men of letters; of Latimer, the bold and witty preacher; of Tyndale, controversialist and translator of the Bible; of the good Bishop Fisher; of Roger Ascham and Sir John Cheke, learned tutors to princes; of Fabian, Ed ward Hall, and Polydore Vergil, chroniclers and historians; lastly, to name no more, of the accomplished William Blount, Lord Mountjoy, the friend of Erasmus, one of the chief revivers of learning in England, and of his son Charles, also a patron of learning.
