Which of the following is NOT an Elizabethan playwright?

Explanation:
The question tests recognizing which writer belongs to the Elizabethan theatre scene. The Elizabethan era in England (roughly late 1500s to early 1600s) produced playwrights who wrote in Early Modern English and performed in London theaters, like Shakespeare, Marlowe, and Jonson. Dante Alighieri, however, lived much earlier, in medieval Italy (1265–1321) and is famous for epic poetry like The Divine Comedy, not plays in English. So Dante is not an Elizabethan playwright.
