Originally published in 1984, Iris Murdoch, widely regarded as one
of the major British novelists of her generation at the time, was
undoubtedly one of the most popular and prolific, having published
twenty-one novels since 1954 (she went on to write many more). But
the course of her fiction-writing career was regarded with unease
by some of her readers in that it seemed marked by an increasing
conservatism of approach which could not have been foreseen in her
earliest published fiction. She was acknowledged as one of
Britain's leading moral philosophers and although this study is
careful to respect the distinctive integrity of her fiction-writing
and her philosophy, it none the less assumes her active presence in
contemporary debate as one of the most powerful and original
theorists of fiction writing at the time. In this study, Richard
Todd systematically, but discriminatingly, surveys all her fiction
to date, and attempts to show how her fundamental theme, the
interplay between the roles of artist and saint, is developed and
expressed in her fiction.
