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