Description

"Not beauty alone, but that element of strangeness in beauty which Mr Pater rightly discerned as the inmost spirit of romantic art--it is this which gives to Miss Macleod's work its peculiar �sthetic charm. But apart from and beyond all those qualities which one calls artistic, there is a poignant human cry, as of a voice with tears in it, speaking from out a gloaming which never lightens to day, which will compel and hold the hearing of many who to the claims of art as such are wholly or largely unresponsive." -The New Age "Of the products of what has been called the Celtic Renascence, 'The Sin-Eater' and its companion Stories seem to us the most remarkable. They are of imagination and a certain terrible beauty all compact." -The Daily Chronicle "For sheer originality, other qualities apart, her tales are as remarkable, perhaps, as anything we have had of the kind since Mr Kipling appeared.... Their local colour, their idiom, their whole method, combine to produce an effect which may be unaccustomed, but is therefore the more irresistible. They provide as original an entertainment as we are likely to find in this lingering century, and they suggest a new romance among the potential things of the century to come." -The Academy "The overshadowing of William Sharp by the genius of Fiona Macleod is one of those mysteries of psychology and of literature that will never be solved. During the lifetime of William Sharp the writings of Fiona Macleod were accepted by the world in general as the work of a living woman writer....Her correspondence in her own name with George Meredith, W. B. Yeats, A. E., and other eminent men of the day proves that she was accepted by them as an actual woman....The Fiona Macleod writings were attributed variously to Mrs. William Sharp, to William Sharp, and to husband and wife in collaboration. There was so much interest in the controversy that William Sharp actually disclaimed his authorship in the Literary World and elsewhere. He regarded the keeping of his secret as a sacred trust - 'Should the secret be found out - Fiona dies.' he said....William Sharp has himself divided certain of the Fiona Macleod tales under the headings: Barbaric and Spiritual. The Barbaric Tales are fierce and ruthless; they have the hard bitterness and cruelty of an age when gentleness was cowardice. Through the 'Spiritual Tales' there shines a light as soft and as still as the light of the candles borne in a gale by Holy St. Bride." -The Fortnightly Review "The most interesting literary mystery in the United Kingdom for the past ten years, says the New York Times, has been the identity of 'Miss Fiona Macleod.' This mystery is apparently solved by the death of Mr. William Sharp, followed by the authorized confession of his wife that he and Fiona Macleod were the same person. Yet even among the personal acquaintances of Mr. Sharp there are some who still refuse to believe that the invisible lady of Ireland was entirely a myth....According to The Evening Post, Mr. Sharp, during his recent visit to this country, confessed that 'Miss Fiona was a kind of relative of his, and that he edited - practically rewrote - all of copy before it reached the printer." -The Literary Digest CONTENTS St. Bride of the Isles The Three Marvels of Iona The Melancholy of Ulad Ula and Urla The Dark Nameless One The Smoothing of the Hand The Anointed Man The Hills of Ruel The Fisher of Men The Last Supper The Awakening of Angus Ogue
