Pygmalion: a romance in five acts (Penguin classics)
Drama, Philosophy
Human-narrated audio
Summary
A 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. 2003, c1913.
