Pygmalion is a play written by George Bernard Shaw that tells the story of a young flower girl named Eliza Doolittle who is transformed into a refined and elegant lady by a speech professor named Henry Higgins. The play explores themes of class, gender, and identity as Eliza struggles to find her place in society and navigate her changing relationships with Higgins and other characters. This edition of the play includes a preface and a sequel written by Shaw himself, providing additional insight into the play's themes and characters. The preface discusses Shaw's inspiration for the play and his views on social class and language, while the sequel explores what happens to Eliza after the events of the play. Overall, Pygmalion is a classic work of literature that continues to be studied and performed today.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.
