William Sharp ("Fiona Macleod") Sharp was born in Paisley on 12 September 1855. After a period in Australia he worked as a journalist in London (1879-90) and travelled widely in Europe and America. Initially associated with the Pre-Raphaelites, he published books in his own name but is remembered for his visionary "Celtic" novels published under the name "Fiona Macleod", which single him out as the main Scottish representative of the "Celtic Twilight" genre named after a collection of stories (1893) by Sharp's friend W(illiam) B(utler) Yeats (1865-1939). Sharp never acknowledged the pseudonym, even composing a mock biography of "Fiona Macleod" for "Who's Who". He died in Sicily on 6 December 1905, and his widow published a memoir of his life five years later.

Arnold, Sharp, and the Celtic "Fiona MacLeod" (William Sharp) Pharais Further Reading Other useful links: Further information on Sharp on Celticism Matthew Arnold on the Celtic Arnold, Sharp, and the Celtic Invention of "the Celtic" as a racial within the colonising country itself, Great Britain. Compare this essay to Scottish Enlightenment attitudes to the Highlands in eg. Waverley. There, Gaelic-language culture understood as representing a past stage of society, the historical past of our own modernity, indeed. As such, it is the source of various virtues, aesthetic ( Ossian ) and military (The Black Watch, and then the Highland regiments raised by Pitt for the wars with revolutionary France), which can be appropriated by the modern world; but the social order in which they originate is itself doomed, and indeed these virtues are only available for appropriation in the aftermath of the military and political defeat (conceived by Enlightenment stadial history as inevitable) of Highland society as an autonomous political entity in 1746 and its aftermath.

William Sharp "Fiona MacLeod" Novelist Son of a muslin manufacturer and a mother with Scandinavian blood, William Sharp was born in Paisley on 12th September 1855 and left when aged 12 years.

From his Highland nurse, and reinforced in later life by many visits there, he learned about the Celtic sagas. He attended Glasgow University but did not graduate. Diligent but unconventional, his interests included nature, folklore and foreign languages and literature. He found work with a lawyer, but an attack of typhoid so weakened him that he went to Australia to recuperate. Based on this visit was his first novel Sport of chance Returned from Australia, he worked for a bank in London and on medical advice turned down the offer of a literary professorship. While in London, his move into a career in writing was influenced by the artist, Sir Joseph Noel Paton , a one-time pattern designer in Paisley. In 1884 he had married his cousin Elizabeth A Sharp , editor of Lyra Celtica . After the success of Sonnets of this century (1886), Sharp also wrote dramas and biographies of literary figures.
