The Shulamite
''The Shulamite'' is an Edwardian drama, or melodrama, based on a novel of the same name. It played in London and New York in 1906 with Lena Ashwell in the lead role. It tells of a South African farmer's wife trapped in an unhappy marriage who falls in love with a visiting Englishman. In a dramatic scene the husband is killed. The death is made to seem an accident, but the lovers must part. Later the play was changed to give it a happy ending. ''The Shulamite'' was well received in London, but had limited success in the USA. It was made into a silent film ''The Shulamite'' in 1915, later renamed ''The Folly of Desire'', and in 1921 was made into the silent film ''Under the Lash'' with Gloria Swanson.
==Background==
The play is a dramatization by Edward Knoblock of the novel ''The Shulamite'' by the prolific romance writers Alice & Claude Askew.
The Shulamite, probably meaning "the woman from Shulem", is a Biblical character mentioned in the Song of Solomon. She was the bride of a shepherd, but her great beauty attracted Solomon, who tried to win her for his harem.
