When talking about the male gender role and…

England, London, middle-class people are used to speak in 'lower' dialects like Cockney. Another group, also from London could use Posh i.e. dialect which is rather using by upper class speakers like progenys of aristocracy or even The Royal Family.

In "Varieties of English, Second Edition" (page 75) by…

In George Bernard Shaw’s Pygmalion, he highlights the issue of language in relation to class structure. Borrowing ideas from the Greek myth Pygmalion, Shaw creates character Henry Higgins, a phonetician, who tries to transform the flower-selling, cockney Eliza Doolittle into a lady. While exploring the idea of creation between Higgins and Doolittle, Shaw chooses to focus on their social dimensionality. While Eliza is trained to speak and act like a lady, she does not gain the proper instincts in…

Growing up as a flower girl from the slums deprived Eliza of having an education and as a result Eliza became attuned to her surroundings and developed a strong cockney accent that would take six months of language training to change. Throughout Pygmalion, "correct" language is portrayed as a unifying force. Eliza demonstrates that it can also be divisive in the following phrase, “Well, I am a child in your country…

Even more, the plot is based on a book written by Virgina Woolfe in 1928, yet all the while the theatrical experience of Orlando was constructed barely two decades ago.

Today I had the honour of attending a conference with the Labour Representation Committee. My recent attendance with the Fabian Society has given me insight into why social class is maintained through bloodlines.

I’ve decided to implement these ideas into Pygmalion, as it already addresses the social class system. It will me…

John Keats is a mature poet of the 19th century who was considered to be part of something called the “Cockney School of Poetry” (Norton 902). This was a group of poets who were targeted in a non-hospitable manner by Blackwood’s Magazine in 1817. John Keats, despite the hateful reviews he had been receiving and despite the hard loss of close relatives he was dealt, entered into what I consider the peak of his “brief” poetic career- writing “masterpiece followed by masterpiece,” (Norton 902) and…
