Novelist William Sharp had a feminine alter ego with her own literary career
When the Scottish writer William Sharp died in 1905, his wife revealed a surprising secret: For 10 years he had kept up a second career as a reclusive novelist named Fiona Macleod, carrying on correspondences and writing works in two distinctly different styles. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll explore Sharp's curious relationship with his feminine alter ego, whose sporadic appearances perplexed even him.
We'll also hunt tigers in Singapore and puzzle over a surprisingly unsuccessful bank robber.
