1908F-5<p>A scandalous story of love between an abbot and a 14-year-old novice which ends in a collective suicide on the altar. In this edition the only Russian one it is attributed to Oscar Wilde. It was actually written by Wilde's "friend" John Fr. Bloksem 1873-1928 and published in the only issue of the journal "Chameleon" published by him 1894. Written under the influence of Wilde and with his approval the story "The Priest and the Acolyte" was discussed in the same year at his trial. An anonymous translator attributed this text to Wilde in the preface and gave the whole book as a title the nickname of Wilde himself — "The King of Life". The book was banned in England Russia and even in Soviet times in the 1940s and 50s see Glavlit lists in: Blum A. Index Librorum Prohibitorum of Foreign Writers and both Glavlit Blum and the catalogers of the RSL and RNB mistakenly indicate Wilde as the author of this book. Printed in the ephemeral publishing house "Icarus" in the font "antique".</p><p>A literary curiosity a rarity. WorldCat and KVK do not find any copies of the book outside of Russia.</p> Icarus paperback

1894189865London: Elkin Mathews & John Lane 1894. A sublime production by the enfants terribles of Victorian Britain First edition in English the first to feature Beardsley's elegant art nouveau illustrations. "If Le Morte Darthur made Beardsley known his designs for the first edition in English of Wilde's Salomé made him notorious and it remains the book of which most people think when his name is mentioned" Ray. Salomé was published in French in 1893. This English translation by Lord Alfred Douglas was published the following year in a run of 500 trade copies as here and 100 on large paper. The premiere took place on 11 February 1896 at the Comédie-Parisienne; the Lord Chamberlain cited Protestant Reformation laws banning religious plays to restrict the public staging in Britain. An opera version was sanctioned for performance in 1910 though the play itself had to be staged privately until the first public performance at the Savoy Theatre in 1931. Small quarto. Frontispiece illustrated title list of illustrations pages 9 plates and 1 tailpiece all by Beardsley; publisher's unopened 16-page advertisements at end.

In 1895 Oscar Wilde was sentenced to two years' hard labour for 'gross indecency'. This poem written while Wilde was in exile in France and Naples in 1897 uses the case of his fellow inmate Charles Thomas Wooldridge to highlight the brutality of the prison system and the irony of the state sentencing a man to death for exactly the same crime. Even without Wilde's name on the title-page the first 800 copies sold out within a week. Mikolyzk A91 Mason 371. London; Leonard Smithers Royal Arcade London W, 1898. hardcover
