Pygmalion and Galatea cover

This title was published in 2001. Pygmalion and Galatea presents an account of the development of the Pygmalion story from its origins in early Greek myth until the twentieth century. It focuses on the use of the story in nineteenth-century British literature, exploring gender issues, the nature of artistic creativity and the morality of Greek art.

'This book will be an indispensable resource for further work on the subject, and the chapter [...] on shaw's Pygmalion is an important addition to scholarship on the play.' Australasian Victorian Studies Journal
