"I could have tried to write the entire Baroque Cycle in Jacobean English, but at some point I’d have had to ask myself, “Who am I kidding? Everyone knows this was written in the 21st century.” The sensibility from which it’s written is that of the high-tech modern world. To purge the whole cycle of all traces of modern English would have seemed forced and absurd. So I just wrote it in whatever language seemed best to get the story across, which in some places was modern-sounding English and in other places was period English".
