Reseña: 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 Shaws feminist views. In Shaws 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
