Refiguring Oscar Wilde's Salome

While Oscar WildeOCOs delightfully-witty comedies of manners receive the most fanfare from the general public and much of academia, WildeOCOs most OC seriousOCO playOCo Salome OCorightfully deserves an equal amount of attention. Written by emerging scholars, established scholars, and notable Wilde scholars at the top of the field, the far-ranging essays in this bookOCothe first collection solely on WildeOCOs Salome OCoprovide new readings of the play, allowing us to better assess how and why Salome either fits or does not fit into WildeOCOs oeuvre. Framed in a new light in this collection, this fuller understanding of Salome should potentially change the way we read both Salome and WildeOCOs entire oeuvre."
