-
A.
Lovers Made Men
-
B.
The Msque of Beauty
-
C.
A Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle
-
D.
The Masque of Blackness
Correct Answer:
C. A Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle
Explanation:
The correct answer is A Masque Presented at Ludlow Castle. While John Milton’s 1634 work is famously known as Comus, this title was actually adopted by later scholars. The original full title, as used for its first performance and early publications, is A Mask presented at Ludlow Castle, 1634. It was written to celebrate John Egerton, the Earl of Bridgewater, taking his post as the Lord President of Wales, and was performed on Michaelmas night at the castle. Other options like The Masque of Blackness and Lovers Made Men were written by Ben Jonson, not Milton.
