Outraged by the sexual perversity of this one-act tragedy, Great Britains Lord Chamberlain banned Salom from the national stage. Symbolist poets and writers St phane Mallarm and Maurice Maeterlinck among them defended the plays literary brilliance. Beyond its notoriety, the dramas haunting poetic imagery, biblical cadences, and febrile atmosphere have earned it a reputation as a masterpiece of the Aesthetic movement of fin de si cle England. Written originally in French in 1892, this sinister tale of a woman scorned and her vengeance was translated into English by Lord Alfred Douglas. The play inspired some of Aubrey Beardsleys finest illustrations, and an abridged version served as the text for Strauss renowned opera of the same name. This volume reprints the complete text of the first English edition, published in 1894, and also includes "A Note on Salom " by Robert Ross, Wildes lifelong friend and literary executor. Students, lovers of literature and drama, and admirers of Oscar Wilde and his remarkable literary gifts will rejoice in this inexpensive edition

Salome is a controversial yet popular play by the incomparable playwright Oscar Wilde. It tells the story of Salome who dances the Dance of the Seven Veils so well that she receives a boon from her stepfather Herod Antipas. Much to his dismay and her mothers delight she requests the head of John the Baptist on a silver platter. Though John is a favorite of Herod and under his protection, Herod cannot rescind his promise and John is beheaded. The first production was in Paris in 1896. Because the play depicted biblical characters it was banned in Britain and was not performed publicly there until 1931. Wilde wrote the play originally in French and it was published in English in 1894.
