If you could talk to one historical figure, who would it be?
Now
that's a very interesting question! Let
me just think a second... I reckon I
would like to have been able to meet William Shakespeare. I've always been fascinated by his work. I'd like to know how much of his work he
achieved by himself, how much of it was more of a team effort, how he worked
with his various collaborators, how the plays evolved over time... I know that almost all of his plays were
based on earlier sources but I'd still like to know from where he drew his
inspiration and how he managed to make them his own. I'm also interested in the business side of
things! Whereas a number of his
contemporaries might also have achieved critical success at the time, none of
them seem to have been nearly as competent as Shakespeare at handling practical
matters and business relationships. He
ended his life a rich man, rather than dying in poverty like some of his
contemporaries. He clearly had a broad
diversity of different talents.
