Characters in Gascoigne's "Adventures of Master F. J." (1573) use reading as a pastime by which they sort out or complicate their relationships with others; the novel's readers, for their pastime, recreate these relationships as they read the novel. These linguistic, rhetorical and social pastimes are moves in a serious game of access to power, and the "Adventures” is thus an ironic 'institute' for the transformation of the individual.
