See SM Stirling's comment in the combox at Kinds Of Crossovers and the blog search result for "Chase The Morning," here. Shakespeare and Johnson converse in Gaiman's The Sandman: The Wake and apparently also in a work by Michael Scott Rohan. There might be some blog discussion of the latter.

Kaor, Paul!
And I would argue for including John Myers Myers and his book SILVERLOCK with these authors. SILVERLOCK is a veritable cornucopia of literary cross overs!
Reached Chapter V of A MIDSUMMER TEMPEST.
Ad astra! Sean
Sean,
I agree to SILVERLOCK going in there although I have not read it yet, either. How did the author come by his name?
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
I think you meant the name of the book? If so, Myers chose "SILVERLOCK" because the POV character had a lock of silver hair.

Sean,
No, I meant the author's own name! Otherwise, I would've typed "title."
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
I googled John Myers Myers and I found out the extra "Myers" was added by his parents to, as he humorously put it, "spare" him having a dynastic "II" attached to his name.
The copy of SIVERLOCK I have includes prefaces and accolades by Poul Anderson, Larry Niven, and Jerry Pournelle.
Ad astra! Sean
Sean,
About the name: that is crazy.
About the book: that, plus SMS's recommendation, sells it, obviously.
Paul.
Kaor, Paul!
We have both seen odder names! Margery Allingham's detective hero Albert Campion has a henceman rejoicing in the name "Magersfontein Lugg." (Smiles)
If the august writers I listed thought so well of SILVERLOCK, then it has to be worth reading!
Ad astra! Sean
Sean,
Indeed.
Paul.
