Question

In 1648, Marvell wrote commendatory verses for which poet’s work?

• B. George Herbert
• C. Richard Lovelace
• D. Henry Vaughan

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Richard Lovelace

• Marvell contributed praise (commendatory verses) to Lovelace’s Lucasta in 1648.

• Lovelace was a Cavalier poet, and this shows Marvell’s literary connections.

• Donne and Dryden were not associated with Lucasta.
