hi everyone, was just asking to know if anyone here could help me remember a certain short story I read a while ago
problem is that I can also vaguely recall the plot :(
it's about two friends, one who's an eng or lit lecturer at some college who if I correctly remember, adores shakespeare. His friend is a scientist who discovers how he can resuscitate the dead, he chooses shakespeare. I cannot completely recall :-(
so there happens to be an old man who starts attending his lectures, gets appalled by the modern state of english, in turn everybody is not at home with the old man's english, including our lec., at which they poke fun at him for. In the end he leaves for good, turns out to be shakespeare after telling this to his scientist friend who in turn opens up his secret

It's from a popular writer, thanks :-)

I believe the story you are thinking of is The Immortal Bard by Isaac Asimov.
