Salome is Oscar Wilde\u2019s most experimental\u2014and controversial\u2014play. In its own time, the play, written in French, was described by a reviewer as \u201Can arrangement in blood and ferocity, morbid, bizarre, repulsive.\u201D None, however, could deny the importance of Wilde\u2019s creation. Contemporary audiences and reviewers variously regarded Salome as the symbol of a thrilling modernity, a challenge to patriarchy, a confession of desire, a sign of moral decay, a new form of art, and a revolt against the restraints of Victorian society. Less well known than Wilde\u2019s beloved comedies, Salome is as enduringly modern and relevant.\nThis edition uses the English translation done by Wilde\u2019s lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, and overseen and corrected by Wilde himself. Appendices detail the play\u2019s sources and provide\n\nSalome\n\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked services.\n\nPlease note: ;
