Pygmalion : A Romance in Five Acts

Shaw radically reworks Ovid's tale with a feminist twist: while Henry Higgins successfully teaches Eliza Doolittle to speak and act like a duchess, she adamantly refuses to be his creation. First produced in 1914, it remains one of Shaw's most popular plays. The Definitive Text under the editorial supervision of Dan H. Laurence With an Introduction by Nicholas Grene

George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) was one of the most prolific writers of the modern theater. He won the 1925 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Dan H. Laurence edited many of Shaw's works and is the series editor for the works of Shaw in Penguin Classics.

Nicholas Grene is professor of English literature at Trinity College in Dublin.
