Discription:
&#8220Thdifference between a lady and a flower girl is not how she behaves, but how
she&#8217treated.&#8221#8212George Bernard Shaw, Pygmalion&#8220Wht is life but a series
of inspired follies? The difficulty is to find them to do. Never lose a chance: it doesn&#8217tcome
every day.&#8221#8212George Bernard Shaw, Pygmalion&#8220Th greatest British dramatist
since Shakespeare.&#8221#8212The GuardianA chance meeting between Henry Higgins, a
professor of phonetics, and Cockney flower seller Eliza Doolittle leads to a bet that he can teach
her how to speak proper English. While Higgins undertakes an effort to train Liza out of her
Cockney accent to prove that it is one&#8217manner of speaking that determines
one&#8217opportunities, Liza&#8217refreshing candor and generosity of spirit effect a change in
Higgins. Beguiling, relatable, and engaging, Pygmalion is an uproariously funny and ultimately
touching tale of mutual transformation. All the while, beneath its irresistible charm, it offers a
scathing critique of class, entitlement, and social prejudice.Ever since its wildly popular first
production in 1913, Pygmalion has amused and entertained audiences the world over and has
become one of the most adapted plays of all time. In 1938 Shaw provided the screenplay for a
filmed version of Pygmalion for which he received an Academy Award. In 1956 Pygmalion was
adapted into a musical entitled My Fair Lady starring Rex Harrison as Higgins and Julie Andrews
as Eliza. The 1964 filmed version starred Audrey Hepburn as Eliza and Rex Harrison as
Higgins.This Warbler Classics edition is an unabridged republication of the text of the play as
published by Constable and Company, London, in 1916. The original Preface and Sequel are
included. Shaw&#8217own quirks of spelling and punctuation, about which he felt strongly, have
been preserved. Also included is an extensive biographical timeline. GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
(1856&#8211190) was an Irish playwright, critic, polemicist, journalist, and political activist.
Unrivaled in his lifetime and since as the leading English-language dramatist of the twentieth
century, Shaw was a master of prose style. He wrote more than sixty plays, among them Man and
Superman (1902), Pygmalion (1913), and Saint Joan (1923). He was awarded the Nobel Prize in
Literature in 1925.
