The ex-PM’s long-promised tome of the Bard looks set to be delayed again after he receives huge advances for his political diaries and public speaking
“Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,” begins Macbeth in his haunting final soliloquy. It also seems to be the sentiment adopted by Boris Johnson in regard to his long-promised tome on the works of William Shakespeare.
By the time the book eventually appears, almost a decade is likely to have passed since the former prime minister was paid an £88,000 advance from the prospective publisher of the work, initially entitled Shakespeare: The Riddle of Genius.
