Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option C

George Gascoigne

Solution :

The correct option is George Gascoigne.

The Steele Glas (1576) is a celebrated English poem written by the Tudor poet and satirist George Gascoigne. It is widely recognized by literary historians as one of the earliest long satire poems written in English blank verse.
Gascoigne uses the metaphor of a "steele glass" (a polished steel mirror) to reflect the true, unvarnished, and often corrupted state of society, contrasting it with the flattering and distorting crystal mirrors popular in his era.
