I suspect time-travelling and Shakespeare is a whole sub-genre, the one I know is one where Shakespeare travelled forward in time and enrolled in a university Shakespeare course - which he then failed... There must be at least one where all his works were actually sent back in time for him to copy from, leading to all sorts of questions as to who originally wrote them.

The story you mention is probably "The Immortal Bard" [1] by Isaac Asimov.

BTW...I actually asked ChatGPT (just 3.5, don't have 4 access) what story it might be based on a description. Couldn't do it, gave lots of nonsense answers along the way, but when I prompted it with the name of the author and the word "immortal" it finally got it. Was kinda surprised actually, I'd think that's the sort of thing an LLM should be able to do quite well.
