BERNARD SHAW: PYGMALION (With Text)

Pygmalion a Romance in Five Acts (1913) is a play by George Bernard Shaw. It tells the story of Henry Higgins, a professor of phonetics who makes a bet with his friend Colonel Pickering that he can successfully pass off a Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, as a refined society lady by teaching her how to speak with an upper class accent. In this process, Higgins and Eliza grow close, but ultimately she rejects his domineering ways and declares she will marry Freddy Eynsford-Hill – a young, poor, gentleman. The Pygmalion myth was a popular subject for Victorian era English playwrights. Dr. S.C. Narula has been a distinguished teacher of English language and literature in the University of Delhi, where he taught for more than thirty years. He is an elected fellow of the International Academy of Poets in Cambridge, England and listed in the International Who’s Who of Poetry, Cambridge. He has long association with the Sahitya Akademi, the premier Academy of Letters of India and has written several articles and reviews for the official journal Indian Literature.
