D.
William Wordsworth
Correct Answer:
A. William Blake
Explanation:
The correct answer is William Blake. In his 1790 work The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, Blake argued that John Milton was a true poet who was of the Devil's party without knowing it. He believed that Milton wrote with greater passion and freedom when describing Satan and Hell than when writing about God and Heaven, suggesting that Milton's creative energy inadvertently aligned with the rebellious spirit of his character Satan in Paradise Lost.
