Ce drame en un acte et en prose a été écrit directement en français en 1891, publié en 1893, puis traduit en anglais par O. Wilde. Le choix du français est lié à la fois à l'importance du mythe de Salomé dans la littérature française, au désir de Wilde de voir Sarah Bernhardt interpréter le rôle-titre, et à son amour pour cette langue.

From the Publisher: Aubrey Beardsley (1872-1898) was the most notorious illustrator of his day. This book, published to commemorate the centenary of his tragically early death at the age of twenty-five, tells the story of his extraordinary life and brief, hectic career. Beardsley's distinctive body of work is considered alongside that of his contemporaries and friends, among them Oscar Wilde, James McNeill Whistler, Max Beerbohm, Edward Burne-Jones, and W.B. Yeats, and set against the vibrant and often racy artistic, literary, and social world of 1890s London. Beardsley's startling designs are reproduced here from original drawings and from rare early editions of the books and magazines he illustrated. Also included are examples of his innovative prints, posters, and bookbindings, along with a gallery of portraits and photographs of Wilde, Yeats, and other celebrated figures in Beardsley's circle. The authoritative text is the first to fully explore the precocious young artist's diverse influences, which range from ancient Greek vase paintings to erotic Japanese ukiyo-e prints and European Old Master paintings by Mantegna, Watteau, and Botticelli.

The dramatic and sadly short life of Aubrey Beardsley (1872-1898) is as intriguing to the modern reader as it was to the fin-de-siecle society within which the artist achieved such notoriety. Born of humble origins, the young Beardsley was quick to reject the genteel prospects of the surveyor's office to embark upon a life of artistic brilliance and public infamy. In her study 'Aubrey Beardsley as Performer; fin-de-siecle or entracte?' Bridget Elliott pays tribute to the artist's status as icon and aesthetic visionary by examining his work within a modern, sociological framework. Elliott brings to the fore the social implications of the headstrong artistic stance that Beardsley took against conservatism, while also evaluating Beardsley's meteoric success in terms of the fortuitous social and technological developments in the 1890s, which enabled artists and authors to reach more readily a mass market of readers, hungry for the latest publications.
