William and Fiona
William Sharp was inspired by an inner feminine consciousness, Fiona Macleod. He described her sometimes as an ancestral seeress. Today we would call her, perhaps, an inner contact, and at a deeper level, the goddess within. In this sense he embodied in person many of the deep changes of sexuality towards androgyny that are occurring today. It was not an easy embodiment for him, in the repressed 19th century. For a time the book-buying public thought that William Sharp and Fiona Macleod were separate persons. When he came out and admitted to being both, there was a scandal.
The Green Life
The Green Life was his/her term for the faery realm and planetary spirit: as Wilfion (his/her secret name for their true union and spiritual identity) lay dying to the human world, he/she spoke aloud of returning at last to the Green Life.
In ES, William would have been part of the Albion diaspora, and Fiona a past life. I think his work would have been an earlier example of what lead to Will Guest and Hideki's work - perhaps Guest was one of Coza's or Will's teachers?
IRL, they wrote as Fiona from 1893 to his death in 1905.
