"Iris Murdoch: A Reassessment" is an eclectic mix of essays that reposition Murdoch's work in relation to current debates in philosophy, theology, literature, gender and sexuality, and authorship. The essays refine, develop or contest previous readings, and blur the distinction between liberal humanist and theoretical positions, suggesting negotiations between them. The book not only questions established critical and philosophical positions, but also Murdoch's own pronouncements about her work. It suggests fresh influences and interpretations, and celebrates Murdoch's interdisciplinary modernity.

Using unpublished archive material, including correspondence and the many annotations Murdoch made to the books held in her Oxford library, this book offers fresh insights into Murdoch's work by placing it within a diversity of new contexts. It also reveals startling parallels between Murdoch's work and other literary and philosophical texts.

An original approach to four mainstream texts for the study of American literature and the novel in general. It examines the strangely equivocal nature of the vision with which each of them ends, with the central protagonists illogically clinging to their own transcendent image of selfhood.

Go ahead and get comfortable. Kick your shoes off; put your feet up. Pour yourself a glass of chilled Moscato, lean back, and relax. Now, let's talk. Despite the apparent provocative and risque nature of the title, Wild Orchid: Not for the timid is really about the quest for self-actualization and the ability of the human spirit to triumph over soul-crushing adversity-and thrive. It is also about the power and unpredictability of love, the decisions we make in the name of love, and the price we pay for forbidden love. All of these themes are subtly interwoven into the less-than-perfect lives of Wild Orchid's less-than-perfect characters, which are then sprinkled with a measured dose of sexual abandon. The story is fluid and fast-paced, as it takes you through Jessica and Terry's meeting to their trip to Jamaica, as Terry and his partner, Pete, pursue a lead in a major homicide case. The characters are vivid and relatable and may elicit some strong emotional responses, especially if you have experienced similar circumstances in your life. Also, expect some surprises and twists. If there are any takeaways from this book, they would probably be: (1) Don't ever give in to that deceitful impulse to end your life. However dire your circumstances may be, things can change in an instant. Never give in; there is always more purpose in living. (2) To a large extent, you have the ability to change the course of your life-at anytime-by the decisions you make. So, choose wisely. (3) Finally, as my wife often says, cheating means you are making potentially life-and-death decisions not only for yourself, but for your partner as well. So, look before you leap. Now that I have put the book in context for you, you can sit back, relax, take a sip, and dive right in. Oh, by the way, don't get it twisted-this book will also ignite your erotic passions. Enjoy - I. St. A. R.
