William Sharp (Fiona Macleod): A Memoir Compiled by His Wife Elizabeth A. Sharp

The memoir traces the author's husband from childhood through a wide-ranging literary career, distinguishing his early output published under his own name from a later phase written under a female pseudonym that expressed a distinct, more lyrical sensibility. It relies on letters, fragmentary diaries, and contemporaneous recollections to chart travels, friendships with fellow writers and artists, editorial and critical responses, and the composition of major volumes. The narrative examines recurring themes of romance, myth, dreams, and dual identity, and includes portraits, facsimiles, and documentary materials to illuminate the creative life.
