Pygmalion is a play written by George Bernard Shaw that tells the story of a poor flower girl named Eliza Doolittle who is transformed into a refined lady by a phonetics professor named Henry Higgins. The play is set in early 20th century London and explores themes of class, gender, and identity.The book includes a preface by Shaw, in which he discusses his inspiration for the play and his thoughts on the themes it explores. The preface also includes some of Shaw's commentary on the play's reception and its various adaptations.In addition to the play itself, the book also includes a sequel written by Shaw called ""What Happened Afterwards."" This sequel explores the consequences of Eliza's transformation and the ways in which she navigates her new social status.Overall, Pygmalion is a classic work of British literature that continues to be studied and performed today. It offers a witty and insightful commentary on the complexities of social class and the power of language and communication.LIZA [as she goes out] Well, what I say is right. I wont go near the king, not if I'm going to have my head cut off. If I'd known what I was letting myself in for, I wouldnt have come here. I always been a good girl; and I never offered to say a word to him; and I dont owe him nothing; and I dont care; and I wont be put upon; and I have my feelings the same as anyone else.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
