- Description:
- Marcie Ray, Assistant Professor of Musicology at Michigan State University, delivers a talk entitled "My Fair Lady: A Voice for Change". Ray analyzes the character of Eliza Doolittle from the Lerner and Lowe musical "My Fair Lady", places her in a literary context dating back to "Ovid" and says that the film portrays an idealized feminine model aimed at the contemporary audience of 1964. She also says that traditional notions of class and the proper social roles for men and women are reinforced by the film and that Eliza's transformation from hysterical, lower class girl to English lady is denoted by her eventual grasp of proper English and her new found cleanliness. Ray uses short clips from the movie to illustrate her points. A question and answer session follows. MSU Music Librarian Mary Black Junttonen introduces Ray. Part of the MSU Libraries' Colloquia Series. Held at the MSU Main Library.
