From the outset the play was a sensational success, although Shaw, irritated by its popularity at the expense of his artistic intentions, dismissed it as a potboiler. The Pygmalion of legend falls in love with his perfect female statue and persuades Venus to bring her to life so that he can marry her. But Shaw radically reworks Ovid's tale to give it a feminist slant: while Higgins teaches Eliza to speak and act like a duchess, she also asserts her independence, adamantly refusing to be his creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Bernard Shaw\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9386019973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789386019974\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alpha Edition\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.23d","brand":"George Bernard Shaw","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979134697727,"sku":"9789386019974","price":9.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_618e8483-4627-422e-8a00-993f991eb755.jpg?v=1683244278","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/pygmalion-world-classics-unabridged-george-bernard-shaw-9789386019974","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
