Salome: A Tragedy in One Act


Oscar Wilde; R. A. Walker (trans)


William Heinemann 1957

Binding:  Hardback  |  Condition: Good  | 

Striking edition of Wilde's controversial play. Featuring the b/w illustrations of Beardsley that adorned the first english edition of 1894. Originally written in Wilde's serviceable French, an effective translation proved difficult. Here Walker provides a clean new translation mirroring the simplicity of Wilde's french and an introduction on Beardsley's artwork. With silver gilt titling and design to cover. Beveled edges. No DJ. Some rubbing and bumping to edges. Some fading to gilt on spine. Previous owner's name to ffep. Contents clean and binding sound. Good.
