Description

Explore the cultural impact of a legend in Performing Salome, Revealing Stories. This volume from the Ashgate Interdisciplinary Studies in Opera series examines how Oscar Wilde's Salome transitioned from a written character to a powerful female embodied form during its first public live performance in Paris in 1896. This book looks beyond the specific characters of Wilde or Richard Strauss to study Salome as a widespread cultural icon. It tracks her reincarnation across various art forms throughout the twentieth century and into the present day. By using Salome as a starting point, the text offers new perspectives on how performing bodies function within the arts. This is an essential resource for those interested in fin-de-siecle society and the many ways the biblical story continues to be reinterpreted by artists and scholars.
