(Picture: PA Wire)Boris Johnson announced a deal for his memoirs yesterday with Harper Collins. But what does it mean for his book on Shakespeare, now eight years overdue?
We hear Johnson is still planning on finishing the long-promised project. In 2015, Johnson agreed a rumoured £500,000 fee with rival publisher Hodder & Stoughton for a book on the bard. It went on hold as politics got in the way, though efforts were made to keep writing: it was reported that he’d asked Shakespeare scholars for help.
