The sexual tensions of William Sharp : a study of the birth of Fiona Macleod, incorporating two lost works, Ariadne in Naxos and Beatrice /
Meyers, Terry L.,1944-
New York : Peter Lang,
c1996.
By the time he died in 1905, the Scottish writer William Sharp had succeeded as critic, biographer, poet, and novelist. Writing secretly, he also achieved fame as Fiona Macleod, a poet singled out by Yeats for "her" role in the Celtic revival. Two important lost works bearing on Sharp's creation of Fiona Macleod are printed here for the first time - Ariadne in Naxos, a tragedy inspired in part by Swinburne's Atalanta in Calydon, and Beatrice, an idyllic poem.
