Who owns history?A certain writer has got into a lot of trouble for mentioning that great event which is going to happen in our capital in four years time. You know what I mean, don’t you? If you do, I may be in trouble. But surely, as writers, we are allowed to refer to historical events. In fact we need to, and the public needs us to.
Just as crazily, an academic conference is not allowed to use the name of the wizard which J K Rowling invented. An academic conference, for goodness’ sake. That name now belongs firmly to Warner Brothers.
