by Oscar Wilde (Author)
A one-act tragedy by Oscar Wilde, Salome presents a concentrated study of desire, power, and fatal consequence within a stylised biblical setting. The drama centres on the court of Herod, where Salome's fixation on John the Baptist sets in motion a sequence of events governed by obsession and irrevocable demand.
Written in a heightened, symbolic mode, the play departs from Wilde's comic theatre and instead adopts a measured, incantatory style that emphasises repetition, image, and atmosphere. Its structure is controlled and deliberate, with dialogue that advances both psychological tension and thematic clarity.
First composed in French and later translated into English, Salome occupies a distinctive position within late nineteenth-century drama. It has remained notable for its fusion of classical subject matter with a modern sensibility, and for its influence on subsequent interpretations in theatre, art, and music.
This edition presents the original text in a clear and carefully prepared format for contemporary readers.
