Shakespeare and anachronisms!
I've just quoted Spike Milligan in my chapter about Shakespeare's brilliantly clever use of anachronisms (clock in Julius Caesar etc).
“I thought I'd begin by reading a poem by Shakespeare, but then I thought, why should I? He never reads any of mine.”
I reckon WS would love this, don't you?
