"Iris Murdoch" considers one of the major British novelists of the
post-war years in a new light, arguing that Murdoch's compulsive
plots and characters are strongly motivated by the question of the
past. Through persuasive readings of some of her key novels it
suggests that the past is continually made present in Murdoch's
fiction in a number of ways: through guilt, nostalgia, the uncanny,
and also by way of rational investigation and art. The book is also
the first to examine her "first-person retrospective novels" as a
separate group within the larger body of her fiction work, in which
the peculiar synthesis of form and content intensifies the
significance of the past. A major aim of the book is to offer an
accessible and lively consideration of how Murdoch's fiction and
theory related to some of the key currents within 20th-century
thought: postmodernism and poststructuralism, Bakhtin, modernism
and psychoanalysis.
