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. 517 $aWilliam Sharp and ?Fiona Macleod? 606 $aAuthors, Scottish$y19th century$vBiography 606 $aAuthors, Scottish 606 $aLiterary forgeries and mystifications 615 0$aAuthors, Scottish 615 0$aAuthors, Scottish. 615 0$aLiterary forgeries and mystifications. 676 $a828.709 700 $aHalloran$b William F$0864518 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910975243103321 996 $aWilliam Sharp and Fiona Macleod$92833231 997 $aUNINA
