A Scottish poet, novelist, biographer, and editor, he began in 1893 to write critically and commercially successful books under the name Fiona Macleod who became far more than a pseudonym. Enlisting his sister to provide the Macleod handwriting, he used the voluminous Fiona correspondence to fashion a distinctive personality for a talented, but remote and publicity-shy woman. Sometimes she was his cousin and other times his lover, and whenever suspicions arose, he vehemently denied he was Fiona. For more than a decade he duped not only the general public but such literary luminaries as George Meredith, Thomas Hardy, Henry James, William Butler Yeats, and E. C. Stedman.William Sharp and “Fiona Macleod” Authors, Scottish19th centuryBiographyAuthors, ScottishLiterary forgeries and mystificationsAuthors, ScottishAuthors, Scottish.Literary forgeries and mystifications.828.709Halloran William F864518MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910975243103321William Sharp and Fiona Macleod2833231UNINA
