Shaw's dramatization of a Cockney flower girl's metamorphosis into a lady is not only a delightful story, but also has much to say about social class, money, spiritual freedom and women's independence.

Its combination of ideas and social comment, together with its rich comic characterization, make it one of the most enduring and entertaining of English comedies. --back cover

Shaw really doth protest too much in both the foreword and the "sequel"; dude, you wrote a toxic romantic comedy, and if absolutely everyone reads it one way, maybe you're the problem. Pygmalion is a tad sharper than the 1938 film version and a lot sharper than the '64 singalong, and I'm still not sure if the whole white-man's-burden subtext is intended to be there or not, but I love how it manages to walk both sides of the street.
