Course Description: From Ovid’s Metamorphosis to George Bernard Shaw’s “Pygmalion,” to the acclaimed Lerner & Lowe Broadway production of “My Fair Lady” and the movie “Pretty Woman,” man has tried to create the perfect woman. Whether he carves her from stone or paints her on canvas, whether he teaches her to speak properly and to behave with dignity, this story has fascinated audiences for centuries. In this course, we will explore these and other Pygmalion-inspired stories in literature, in art, in film, even perhaps in our own lives.
