Includes A New Introduction by Holbrook Jackson.
Illustrated and hand-illuminated by Valenti Angelo.
"Salome is a one-act play written by Irish author and palywright Oscar Wilde in 1891 and first performed in 1896.
It tells the biblical story of Salome, the stepdaughter of Herod Antipas, who requests the head of John the Baptist as a reward for dancing for her stepfather.
Delving into themes of desire, power, and obsession, Salome is a highly stylized work that combines elements of biblical drama, French Symbolism and the Decadent movement.
