Iris Murdoch’s Letters
Iris Murdoch died on 8 February 1999 at the age of seventy-nine. An edition of her correspondence was published sixteen years later, in 2015. Living on Paper, edited by Avril Horner and Anne Rowe, consists of more than 760 letters and postcards Murdoch wrote from 1934, when she was a schoolgirl of fifteen, to 1995, when she was seventy-six, a world-famous writer, the author of twenty-six published novels as well as philosophical essays and treati…
All the World's a Stage”
The Irish-born British author and philosopher Iris Murdoch (1919–99) nourished one unfulfilled ambition. Although she was routinely ranked as one of the most important English novelists of the twentieth century, she also wanted to succeed at writing plays. She admitted to finding playwriting difficult. She only managed to complete a few, regarded now as among her least successful works. This paper argues that the composition of The Green Knight (…
The Dual Nature of the World in The Bell
The Bell has proven to be one of the most enduringly popular of Iris Murdoch's twenty-six novels.

A Severed Head
A Severed Head, published in 1961, by the Anglo-Irish author Iris Murdoch, has proved one of her most commercially successful works. One of its primary attractions is that it is about sex. With its themes of marriage, incest and adultery within a group of educated and civilised people dwelling in well-to-do areas of 1950s London, it has been said that A Severed Head anticipates the sexual revolution of a period subsequently dubbed the “Swinging S…
