• The story of Pygmalion and his statue is one of the most enduring tales in Ovid's "Metamorphoses". This text traces the development of the Pygmalion story in English literature from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, following it through a wide variety of versions ranging from tales of love and ideal beauty to vehicles for philosophical, religious, political and aesthetic ideas.

It is the aim of this study to bring together these narrations and examine the interaction between them.
