Question: Raleigh was Right was composed in response to the exchange between Christopher Marlowe and the landed gentleman of what nationality?
Context: Nicholas Skeres (March 1563 – c. 1601) was an Elizabethan con-man and government informer—i.e. a "professional deceiver"—and one of the three "gentlemen" who were with the poet and playwright Christopher Marlowe when he was killed in Deptford in May 1593.  Together with another of the men there, Robert Poley, he had played a part in the discovery of the Babington plot against the life of the Queen in 1586, and at the time of Marlowe's death was engaged in a money-lending swindle with the third of them, Marlowe's reported killer Ingram Frizer. Sir Thomas Walsingham (c. 1561 – 11 August 1630) was a courtier to Queen Elizabeth I and literary patron to such poets as Thomas Watson, Thomas Nashe, George Chapman and Christopher Marlowe.  He was related to Elizabeth's spymaster Francis Walsingham and the employer of Marlowe's murderer Ingram Frizer.  This connection is one of the reasons offered for suggesting that Marlowe's death may have been linked with intelligence work, and not a dispute over a bill for food and accommodation, as in the coroner's verdict. The School of Night is a modern name for a group of men centred on Sir Walter Raleigh that was once referred to in 1592 as the "School of Atheism".  The group supposedly included poets and scientists Christopher Marlowe, George Chapman and Thomas Harriot.  There is no firm evidence that all of these men were known to each other, but speculation about their connections features prominently in some writing about the Elizabethan era. Englands Helicon is an anthology of Elizabethan pastoral poems compiled by John Flasket, and first published in 1600.  There was an enlarged edition in 1614.  The poets involved cannot all be identified, since there are a number of poems marked as 'anonymous': they do include Edmund Bolton, William Byrd, Henry Chettle, Michael Drayton, Robert Greene, Christopher Marlowe, Anthony Munday, George Peele, Walter Raleigh, Henry Constable, William Shakespeare, Philip Sidney, Edmund Spenser, John Wootton, William Smith.  The most celebrated poem is Marlowe's 'Come live with me and be my love'.  This and several other lyrics have musical settings extant, in this case by William Corkine. "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd" (1596), by Walter Raleigh, is a poem that responds to and parodies the poem "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love" (1593) by Christopher Marlowe.  In her reply to the shepherd's invitation, the nymph presents her rejection of the shepherd's courtship for a life of pastoral idyll. Hero and Leander is a poem by Christopher Marlowe that retells the Greek myth of Hero and Leander.  After Marlowe's untimely death it was completed by George Chapman.  The minor poet Henry Petowe published an alternative completion to the poem.  The poem was first published posthumously, five years after Marlowe's demise. The Marlowe Memorial is a statue and four statuettes erected in memory of the playwright and poet Christopher Marlowe in 1891 in Canturbury, England.  The memorial was commissioned by a Marlowe Memorial Committee, and comprises a bronze statue, The Muse of Poetry sculpted by Edward Onslow Ford, standing on a plinth decorated with statuettes of actors playing Marlowe roles.  The statue is now situated outside the city's Marlowe Theatre. Sir Walter Raleigh ( , , or ; "circa" 155429 October 1618) was an English landed gentleman, writer, poet, soldier, politician, courtier, spy and explorer.  He was cousin to Sir Richard Grenville and younger half-brother of Sir Humphrey Gilbert.  He is also well known for popularising tobacco in England. "Raleigh was Right" is a poem by William Carlos Williams, composed in response to the Elizabethan exchange between Christopher Marlowe, in "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love", and Walter Raleigh, with "The Nymph's Reply". Christopher Marlowe, also known as Kit Marlowe (baptised 26 February 156430 May 1593), was an English playwright, poet and translator of the Elizabethan era.  Marlowe was the foremost Elizabethan tragedian of his day.  He greatly influenced William Shakespeare, who was born in the same year as Marlowe and who rose to become the pre-eminent Elizabethan playwright after Marlowe's mysterious early death.  Marlowe's plays are known for the use of blank verse and their overreaching protagonists.
