I'd hardly call that general knowledge, I wouldn't have said Wordsworth and I'd guess Shakespeare, but I don't know.
It was Shakespeare as it happens, but that's not the point. Does anyone seriously believe that Wordsworth was alive in the 17th century? Especially anyone entering a general knowledge quiz?
