George Bernard Shaw Pygmalion (Paperback). Pygmalion both delighted and scandalized its first audiences in 1914. The one thing he overlooks is that his 'creation' has a mind of her own. Title: Pygmalion. Author: George Bernard Shaw. Format: Paperback. Further DetailsTitle: Pygmalion Condition: New Description: 'Yes, you squashed cabbage leaf . . . you incarnate insult to the English language: I could pass you off as the Queen of Sheba' Pygmalion both delighted and scandalized its first audiences in 1914. A brilliantly witty reworking of the classical tale of the sculptor who falls in love with his perfect female statue, it is also a barbed attack on the British class system and a statement of Shaw's feminist views. In Shaw's hands, the phoneticist Henry Higgins is the Pygmalion figure who believes he can transform Eliza Doolittle, a cockney flower girl, into a duchess at ease in polite society. The one thing he overlooks is that his 'creation' has a mind of her own.With an Introduction by NICHOLAS GRENE Author: George Bernard Shaw EAN: 9780141439501 Country/Region of Manufacture: GB Contributor: Nicholas Grene (Introduction by) ISBN: 9780141439501 Format: Paperback Item Height: 198mm Item Length: 129mm Item Width: 8mm Item Weight: 112g ISBN-10: 0141439505 Genre: Poetry & Drama Publisher: Penguin Classics Release Date: 01/30/2003 Language: English Release Year: 2003 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
