  Here are eight fundamental works by one of the few greatest English poets: three lyric pieces, Songs of Innocence, The Book of Thel, Songs of Experience; the prose satire An Island in the Moon, the mystical prose poem The Marriage of Heaven & Hell, and three visionary poems: The French Revolution, Visions of the Daughters of Albion, America, a Prophecy.  William Blake (1757-1827) is one of the great relevant figures of his time, who like Beethoven in music  bridges the classical and romantic, remaining himself uncategorizable.

Written in seven cantos, it tells the tale, in quintains, of a gentleman called Tibbets and his experience conversing with a phantom. This amusing "epic" takes us through their initial fear of each other, a fierce debate over the goings-on of the supernatural world, and finally, to a touching mutual admiration.

  Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion is a witty and thought-provoking play that explores themes of social class, transformation, and the power of language. First performed in 1913, the play remains one of Shaw's most celebrated works, blending comedy with sharp social critique.The story follows Professor Henry Higgins, a phonetics expert, who makes a bet with his friend, Colonel Pickering, that he can transform a poor flower girl, Eliza Doolittle, into a refined lady simply by teaching her proper speech and manners. Eliza, eager to improve her station in life, agrees to the experiment. However, as her transformation progresses, she begins to question her own identity and independence.Shaw cleverly satirizes the rigid British class system, highlighting the superficiality of social status. He emphasizes that one's position in society is often determined by external factors such as language and appearance rather than intelligence or character. Eliza's journey raises important questions about self-worth, agency, and the true meaning of personal change.Unlike the traditional Pygmalion myth, where the sculptor falls in love with his creation, Shaw subverts expectations by making the relationship between Higgins and Eliza complex and ambiguous. While Higgins views Eliza as a project, she ultimately asserts her own autonomy, refusing to be merely a product of his experiment.Pygmalion is a masterpiece of wit and irony, blending elements of romance, drama, and social commentary. Shaw's sharp dialogue and insightful observations on class and gender make the play as relevant today as it was over a century ago. The play later inspired the famous musical My Fair Lady, further cementing its place in literary and theatrical history.With its engaging characters and thought-provoking themes, Pygmalion remains a timeless exploration of identity, transformation, and the human desire for respect and recognition.
