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 Shaw's feminist views. In Shaw's 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."}, "source_records": ["marc_overdrive/InternetArchiveCrMarc-2010-06-11j.mrc:8474268:1885"], "title": "Pygmalion", "identifiers": {"overdrive": ["36AC724B-A0F8-4FF6-A929-86716C1A2D56"]}, "covers": [8257105], "created": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2010-06-23T01:09:24.284367"}, "physical_format": "eBook", "last_modified": {"type": "/type/datetime", "value": "2018-10-03T12:31:49.195703"}, "publish_date": "2004", "publish_country": "nyu", "key": "/books/OL24290903M", "authors": [{"key": "/authors/OL2742646A"}], "latest_revision": 3, "publish_places": ["Chatham"], "works": [{"key": "/works/OL1066524W"}], "type": {"key": "/type/edition"}, "revision": 3}
