Salome / Under The Hill

This joint edition of Salome and Under the Hill, united by twenty of Beardsley’s unsurpassable drawings, is a timely rehabilitation of these two all-too-often ignored fin-de-siecle texts and constitutes a volume of unadulterated erotic decadence which stands at the pinnacle of the genre. Salome is an evocation of biblical horror in which blasphemies inflame an atmosphere that seethes with a dangerous erotic charge. Under the Hill is a extraordinary catalogue of sexual perversions that capture the essence of a decadent age.
