The novelist and mystic William Sharp (1855 1905) wrote or edited
around fifty books, both in his own name and under the pseudonym of
Fiona MacLeod. An introduction to Dante Gabriel Rossetti in 1881
led to his publishing a study of the poet and artist in the
following year. Appointed as London art critic of the Glasgow
Herald in 1883, he went on to make many more distinguished
acquaintances. Originally published in 1892, this work concerns
another keeper of illustrious contacts: Joseph Severn (1793 1879),
painter and British consul at Rome, who is best remembered for his
close friendship with John Keats. As biographer, Sharp utilises
Severn's vast though occasionally inconsistent correspondence,
tracing his life from his youth, through his years of intimacy with
Keats, to his death and eventual burial at the great poet's side.
