| Salome is Oscar Wildeâ s most experimentalâ and controversialâ play. In its own time, the play, written in French, was described by a reviewer as â an arrangement in blood and ferocity, morbid, bizarre, repulsive.â None, however, could deny the importance of Wildeâ s 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 Wildeâ s beloved comedies, Salome is as enduringly modern and relevant. This edition uses the English translation done by Wildeâ s lover, Lord Alfred Douglas, and overseen and corrected by Wilde himself. Appendices detail the playâ s sources and provide extensive materials on its contemporary reception and dramatic productions. |
