This 1996 book is a study of Oscar Wilde's Salome, a play now
regarded as central to his artistic achievement. Often drawing on
little-known sources, the authors provide a detailed stage-history
of this controversial work, and its transformation into opera,
dance and film. Beginning with Sarah Bernhardt's aborted production
of 1892, the book surveys Salome's principal realisations in the
European theatre, including Lugne-Poe's Parisian premiere of 1896,
Reinhardt's Berlin productions of 1902-3, attempts at presentation
in pre-revolutionary Russia, and the play's impact on the English
stage between 1911 and 1990. A separate chapter explores a wealth
of further interpretations, including Aubrey Beardsley's
challenging illustrations, Strauss's operatic version and the
provocative films created by Alla Nazimova and Ken Russell.
