Shakespeare has artillery in King John. Ignorance, or a different attitude to anachronism? Is this relevant? Peter Jackson 15:18, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
- I think the idea of artillery in PL is ridiculous rather than anachronistic. As for King John, you might, if you were very ingenious, argue that Shakespeare is using artillery in its old sense of any engine of war (OED), but it is more likely it is just plain not caring. --Martin Wyatt 21:28, 20 January 2014 (UTC)
- I didn't mean he used the word "artillery". If memory serves right, he talks about "cannon", but don't quote me on that.
- Anyway, it's clear from what you say that it's not relevant to this article. Peter Jackson 09:11, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
