When we think of Iris Murdoch’s relationship with art forms, the
visual arts come most readily to mind. However, music and other
sounds are equally important. Soundscapes – music and other types
of sound – contribute to the richly textured atmosphere and moral
tenor of Murdoch’s novels. This book will help readers to
appreciate anew the sensuous nature of Iris Murdoch’s prose, and
to listen for all kinds of music, sounds and silences in her
novels, opening up a new sub-field in Murdoch studies in line with
the emerging field of Word and Music Studies. This study is
supported by close readings of selected novels exemplifying the
subtle variety of ways she deploys music, sounds and silence in her
fiction. It also covers Murdoch’s knowledge of music and her
allusions to music throughout her work, and includes a survey of
musical settings of her words by various composers.
