Joshua (English, Birmingham U.) considers the history of the story of Pygmalion and Galatea in print from its origins in antiquity through its many versions over the centuries. Analyzing the narrative's rise in popularity during the 19th century, Joshua attributes it primarily to male fantasies of control over women. Other topics include the psychology of the artist and Victorian morality regarding the body. The text is a revised version of the author's doctoral thesis. Annotation c.
