  • "This stunningly illustrated book is a 1904 edition of Wilde's play "Salomé," and has been translated from the French of Oscar Wilde. The iconic illustrations are by Wilde's fellow Victorian and aesthete, Aubrey Beardsley. Although the two collaborated on this book, and several other related projects, they were, contrary to popular belief, not close friends."@en
  • ""Unique among his works, Oscar Wilde's play Salomé (1893) was written originally in French. Joseph Donohue's new translation of the horrific New Testament story has recast Wilde's shockingly radical drama in the natural idiomatic language of our own day. Presenting a colloquial and spare American English version of Wilde's consciously stylized French, Donohue's approach gives full value to the Irish author's dark ruminations on evil and perversity in a world on the brink of a new, unsettling Christian dispensation."--Book description, Amazon.com."

  • "Salome (or in French: Salomé) is a tragedy by Oscar Wilde. The original 1891 version of the play was in French. Three years later an English translation was published. The play tells in one act the Biblical story of Salome, stepdaughter of the tetrarch Herod Antipas, who, to her stepfather's dismay but to the delight of her mother Herodias, requests the head of Jokanaan (John the Baptist) on a silver platter as a reward for dancing the Dance of the Seven Veils.

  • "One of the most interesting facts about this collaborative and iconic edition is that Irish-born writer Oscar Wilde and English avant-garde illustrator, Aubrey Beardsley, while acquainted with one another, were by all accounts, not friends. Although the two men had much in common in their views on art, aestheticism and decadence, their relationship is said to have been strained."@en
