Product Description A dominant figure of postwar British literature, Iris Murdoch (19191999) wrote more than twentyfive novels, a collection of poems, and a halfdozen philosophical studies..In Understanding Iris Murdoch, Cheryl Bove divides Murdoch's work into two broad categoriesthe ironic tragedy and the bittersweet comedyto examine the reasons why her work continues to attract such a large following. A writer of consistently readable novels who fashions gripping narratives and vivid characters, Murdoch presents readers with moral problems upon which she allows her audience to pass judgment. Bove summarizes Murdoch's work not as an effort to advance a cause, expand a philosophy, or portray a society, but to present human relationships and solve fictional problems of plot and theme. Review Considering all of Murdoch's novels, plays, and essays, Bove dutifully combines summary with analysis of Murdoch's moral philosophy and aesthetics. . . . She works within a sound scholarly perspective.
