This book explores Salome's quintessential veiled dance through
readings of fictional and poetic texts, dramatic productions, dance
performances and silent films, arguing for the central place of
this dancer - and her many interpreters - to the wider formal and
aesthetic contours of modernism. Loie Fuller, Maud Allan, Oscar
Wilde, Ida Rubinstein, Alla Nazimova, Djuna Barnes, Germaine Dulac,
Edward Gordon Craig, W. B. Yeats, Ninette de Valois and Samuel
Beckett are foregrounded for their innovative engagements with this
paradigmatic fin-de-siecle myth, showing how the ephemeral stuff of
dance became a constitutive element of the modernist imagination
during this period.
