"Jouhn Furnell" two pages 12mo foxed closed tears and chipped but text complete and clear as follows: She asks to call him "Popey" because that's how she thinks of him after his TV appearances. She has put aside the published version for him but understands that the published "Rider" has already sent one to him. She has derived great pleasure from his talks. "What wonderful memories you must have and jow dull and commonplace the present generation must seem to you." She then discusses her play about Oscar Wilde as follows: "'THE STRINGED LUTE' was originally written as a Play then re-written as a play-novel. Now it has beed re-arranged as a Play in four Acts & we hope to see it produced as a play or a film. I was wondering if you'd be so very kind as to advise me where to send it You have such wide experience in these matters about which I know absolutely nothing. But of course its always been my dream to see THE STRINGED LUTE as a full length production at Drury Lane with an all star cast and someone of Ustinoff's sic calibre as Oscar! Not that I think for a moment that this will materialise into fact - but one never knows! " If he's interested she'll send a copy "at once". She continues "I know I've ansolutely no right to trespass on your time and your kindness like this but hope taht you will forgive my doing so. I think the book is doing quite well. Hesketh Pearson liked it - and the Psychic Press has awarded it a 'Psychic Oscar'! Or so I believe. Also Rider's publishers tell me that America is interested. ." n.d., (before published version, 1955); Typed Letter Signed dated 23 Jan. 1956. paperback

A PRESENTATION COPY FROM WILDE TO ADOLPHE RETTÉ WITH WILDE'S INSCRIPTION AND SIGNATURE ON THE FRONT FLYLEAF. Mason 348. See also: Mikhail "Oscar Wilde: Interviews and Recollections" pp. 190-91. Spine faintly sunned covers with a few small bumps and dents perhaps original with the skin or intentionally made by the binder one or two negligible finger smudges but a fine clean copy with just insignificant imperfections. This is a very special presentation copy of Wilde's most controversial play inscribed to one of three writers the author invited to edit the original French script. In the Gospel of Luke Herodias the haughty wife of Antipas tetrarch of Galilee is so incensed by the preaching of John the Baptist against her sins that she determines to be revenged. She persuades her daughter Salomé to ask Antipas the girl's stepfather for John's head as the reward for her seductive dancing. Wilde's fertile imagination converts this story into a tale of juvenile infatuation scorned and turned into demented hate. Written and first published in French "Salomé" was to have been staged in London with Sarah Bernhardt in the title role but this was prevented by the Lord Chamberlain the theater censor. Thus the play was first performed in 1896 in Paris with Bernhardt in the title role but without Wilde in attendance since he was confined at the time in Reading Gaol. It was not performed in London until 1905 in a private performance and the censor's ban was not lifted until 1932. Adolphe Retté 1863-1930 was a French poet essayist and literary figure who initially was celebrated for his decadent and symbolist poetry but later experienced a profound spiritual awakening that led him to renounce his earlier works and embrace Catholicism. He was one of three French-speaking poets along with Stuart Merrill and Pierre Louÿs Wilde solicited to look over the original script and correct any overt anglicisms. Retté who had met Wilde in Paris wrote about his involvement with "Salomé" in his memoir where he describes his admiration for the work: "Not only were Wilde's ideas subtle and delightful but he knew how to enhance them seeming to caress each word with his irresistible way of speaking." Retté marveled at Wilde's "talent as a conversationalist or rather as a monopolizer of the conversation and the wonderful way he would set forth the philosophy of 'hedonism.'" Wilde presentation copies are not exceptionally rare in general but we could find few such copies of this important first edition and none any more important as this one.
