  • "Accompanied by the adaptation and lyrics of the Broadway play "My Fair Lady," this play follows Professor Henry Higgins as he transforms a rough-hewn girl into a sophisticated lady of society."@en
  • "Pygmalion is one of Shaw's most accessible and entertaining plays; its characters-particularly Professor Higgins and his pupil Eliza Doolittle-have become household names. The fame of Pygmalion has been both enhanced and undermined by the musical adaptation My Fair Lady. This is a fresh, up to date and accessibly written critical edition for literature and drama students. An authoritative and academically rigorous edition, edited by the Shaw Estate and international Shaw expert, Len Connolly. Students will find a wealth of information to guide their studies: an extended introduction exploring theatrical and historical context, critical reactions to Pygmalion, background on the author, stage history and character analysis. It also includes Shaw's original Preface, the Pygmalion and Galatea myth (Ovid) and Shaw's rehearsal notes for the 1914 premiere. The play itself contains numerous notes and explanations throughout to aid the student's understanding. -- Publisher description."

  • "A comedy of manners set in early 20th century London. Based upon the Pygmalion legend. A British professor of phonetics transforms a Covent Garden flower girl into the semblance of a duchess. 5 acts, 4 men, 6 women, extras, 2 interiors, 1 exterior."@en

  • "Henry Higgins is the cause of Liza Doolittle's metamorphasis from a "draggle-tailed guttersnipe" to a "duchess" by improving her manner, speech, and clothes."@en
  • "Shaw's most successful work which satirizes the English class system through the story of a cockney girl's transformation into a lady at the hands of a speech professor, and which was later made into a motion picture and as the basic for the musical "My Fair Lady" (1956)."@en
  • "Drawings by Feliks TopolskiFirst pub. 1916."
  • "Professor of phonetics Henry Higgins makes a bet that he can train a bedraggled Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, to pass for a duchess at an ambassador's garden party by teaching her to assume a veneer of gentility, the most important element of which, he believes, is impeccable speech. The play is a sharp lampoon of the rigid British class system of the day and a commentary on women's independence."@en
  • "This dramatization of a Cockney flower girl's metamorphosis into a lady is not only a delightful fantasy but also has much to say about social class, money, spiritual freedom, and women's independence."
  • "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. This is the definitive text produced under the editorial supervision of Dan H. Laurence, with an illuminating introduction by Nicholas Grene, discussing the language and politics of the play. Also included in this volume is Shaw's preface, as well as his 'sequel' written for the first publication in 1916, to rebut public demand for a more conventionally romantic ending."@en
