First published in ''Magazine/UniverseScienceFiction'' (May 1954 issue) by Creator/IsaacAsimov, this ScienceFiction ShortStory is about [[ShakespeareInFiction
William Shakespeare]].
Dr. Phineas Welch, a physics professor, starts bragging to Scott Robertson, an English teacher,during the faculty Christmas party. Dr Welch claims to have invented [[TimeTravel temporal transference]] that can bring famous historical figures into the present. He tried several geniuses who nevertheless couldn't handle the [[FishOutOfTemporalWater dramatic social changes of centuries]]. So he tried Creator/WilliamShakespeare, and tells Robertson about how well the Bard had adjusted, until the day a ''very'' pissed-off Shakespeare who ''demanded'' to be sent back to his own time, having never felt so insulted in his life. The English professor, clearly disturbed by the story and recognizing some of the elements, asks what could ''possibly'' make Shakespeare so angry.
This story has been reprinted several times; ''Literature/EarthIsRoomEnough'' (1957), ''Literature/ScienceFictionVerhalen'' (1961), ''Literature/IntroducingSFAScienceFictionAnthology'' (1964), ''Literature/ScienceFictionFavorites'' (1975), ''Literature/TheFarEndsOfTimeAndEarth'' (1979),
