Excerpt from On Life Letters, Vol. 1: A Translation Dear Sir, - Permit me to offer you this little book; I certainly owe it to you since, assuredly, but for you it would not be in existence. I had hardly any thought of writing critical articles for a newspaper at the time when you invited me to the "Temps." Your choice astonished me and I am still surprised at it. How was it possible for a mind so keen, so practical, and so versatile as yours, in constant communion with everybody and everything, a mind in such full possession of life and always steeped in affairs, to have conceived a liking for thoughts so grave, sober, and detached as mine? But nothing is alien from you, not even meditation. Those who know you best declare that there is in you something of the dreamer. They are not mistaken. Only you dream rapidly. You possess in everything the genius of promptness in its highest degree. The facility with which you think is prodigious. You understand everything in a flash. Your conversation, as rapid and brilliant as the light, always dazzles me. Yet it is always judicious. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from On Life Letters, Vol. 1: A Translation We know ourselves very imperfectly, but I think your definition is a good one. I seem to myself to be a philosophical monk. I belong at heart to the Abbey of Thelema, where the rule is pleasant and obedience is easy. Perhaps they have not a great deal of faith there, but assuredly they have plenty of piety. Indulgence, tolerance, respect for oneself and for others, these are the saints who are always held in reverence in that Abbey. If, within it, there is a tendency to doubt, it must be remembered that along with Pyrrhonism there always goes a profound attachment to custom and usage. Now, morality is but the custom of the greatest number. There is no one like a sceptic for always being moral and a good citizen. A sceptic never revolts against the laws, for he has no hope that better ones can be made. He knows that the State must be forgiven for a great deal. Would you like a word Of advice? Never entrust the political article in the Temps to one of our Thelemites. He would fill it with a gentle melancholy which would discourage your worthy readers. Ministries are not kept in power by philosophers. As for myself, I am becomingly modest, and I restrict myself to criticism. As I understand it, and as you allow me to practise it, criticism is, like philosophy and history, a sort of romance designed for those who have sagacious and curious minds, and every romance is, rightly taken, an autobiography. The good critic is he who relates the adventures of his own soul among masterpieces. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

What an achievement! It is a major work. The letters taken together with the excellent introductory sections - so balanced and judicious and informative - what emerges is an amazing picture of William Sharp the man and the writer which explores just how fascinating a figure he is. Clearly a major reassessment is due and this book could make it happen.  —Andrew Hook, Emeritus Bradley Professor of English and American Literature, Glasgow University William Sharp (1855-1905) conducted one of the most audacious literary deceptions of his or any time. Sharp was a Scottish poet, novelist, biographer and editor who in 1893 began to write critically and commercially successful books under the name Fiona Macleod. This was far more than just a pseudonym: he corresponded as Macleod, enlisting his sister to provide the handwriting and address, and for more than a decade "Fiona Macleod" duped not only the general public but such literary luminaries as William Butler Yeats and, in America, E. C. Stedman. Sharp wrote "I feel another self within me now more than ever; it is as if I were possessed by a spirit who must speak out". This three-volume collection brings together Sharp’s own correspondence – a fascinating trove in its own right, by a Victorian man of letters who was on intimate terms with writers including Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Walter Pater, and George Meredith – and the Fiona Macleod letters, which bring to life Sharp’s intriguing "second self". With an introduction and detailed notes by William F. Halloran, this richly rewarding collection offers a wonderful insight into the literary landscape of the time, while also investigating a strange and underappreciated phenomenon of late-nineteenth-century English literature. It is essential for scholars of the period, and it is an illuminating read for anyone interested in authorship and identity.
