This article provides a close reading of the Serbian Pygmalion in order to show whether the text (especially Eliza’s lines) has retained or lost some of its vitality in the translation by Borivoje Nedić, one of the finest Serbian translators. The analysis shows that although most of the techniques used by Nedić are appropriate, different translation solutions in specific cases would be more adequate in conveying the play’s main notion that language reveals one’s social class and shapes one’s identity.

abstract:As Shaw's authorized biographer Archibald Henderson put it in the second of three biographies: "While Shaw may have a dozen labels—art critic, music critic, drama critic, novelist, dramatist, rationalist, Socialist, publicist, harlequin, sage, statesman, prophet—he has only one profession: journalism." Especially remembered now for his achievements as playwright, whether in the vanguard of the New Drama at the end of the nineteenth century or as the established dramatist of world fame throughout the first half of the twentieth, Shaw worked first and last as a journalist in a working life stretching seventy-five years. Dan H. Laurence devoted nearly three hundred pages of the second volume of Bernard Shaw: A Bibliography (1983) itemizing Shaw's contributions to newspapers and periodicals between 1875 and 1950, amounting to almost four thousand entries. For fourteen of those years, from 1885 to 1898, he led the career of a full-time journalist, mostly as a critic of the fine arts, but criticism was by no means the whole story of Bernard Shaw's fourteen-year career as a full-time journalist sketched out in what follows.

abstract:As a journalist, Shaw displayed an uncanny versatility, penning opinion articles, open letters, music and drama criticism … and book reviews, perhaps the least known of his journalistic activities. These reviews—stylistically valuable in themselves—contain a wealth of information on Shaw's art. Indeed, in this early work one can find many of the ideas he would later rework in his plays and some of the distinguishing technical and formal features of his trade as a playwright. Thus, this article provides a thematic and stylistic account of the content of some of these reviews, in order to demonstrate, first, that Shaw's critical style deserves praise and attention in its own right; and then, that these critical pieces provide a faithful picture of the reading public of the time, and a true index of Shaw's intellectual and literary interests as well as the blueprint of Shaw, the playwright.

abstract:From the very start of his career in England, Bernard Shaw positioned himself as an Irish commentator with an incisive, outsider's view of the English. Shaw's internationalist Socialism made him wary of excessive patriotism; and in his dramas he casts a cold eye on fervent patriotism. But Shaw was also known to routinely boast about his "wild and inextinguishable pride" in being "an Irishman" and to repeatedly praise Irish "brains." This seeming contradiction regarding partiality to one's native land raises a very pertinent question: What mode of living was Shaw recommending to his fellow Irish in England? The music reviews that Shaw wrote between 1876 and 1894 reveal his nuanced thinking in this area. In these pieces, Shaw's reflections on English-based Irish singers and composers show that he was consistent in advocating that Irish emigrants embrace cosmopolitan Irishness (being proudly Irish while also remaining mindful of non-Irish ideas and perspectives) over parochial Irishness (stubbornly adhering to Irish norms in defiance of international best practice and exaggerating Irish greatness and "exceptionalism"). This fits with Shaw's general perspective on how Irish people—both within and beyond Irish shores—should approach their "'lived' Irishness."
