{"product_id":"9781847498595","title":"Pygmalion: 1941 version with variants from the 1916 edition : Definitive 1941 version with footnotes indicating the textual variants by George Bernard Shaw","description":"When   professor of phonetics Henry Higgins wagers with Colonel Pickering that he   could teach even a gutter-mouthed flower seller how to speak like a duchess,   little does he expect that his social experiment will be riddled with   difficulties, and that behind her cockney parlance the girl in question,   Eliza Doolittle, has a mind, ideas and aspirations of her own. Things come to   a crux when the creature starts to rebel against her creator - and the scene   is set for a play that questions the class system, social appearances and the   role of women in society.        Universally regarded as Shaw's most successful work, Pygmalion - here   presented in its definitive 1941 version, with footnotes indicating the   textual variants from the first volume edition of 1916 - has spawned a great   number of adaptations, among them the famous 1956 Broadway musical My Fair   Lady, and shows ancient myth's undiminished ability to find new incarnations   in modern life.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56307837862261,"sku":"9781847498595","price":6.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781847498595.jpg?v=1762805498","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781847498595","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
