  • Illusion and Reality in the Fiction of Iris Murdoch: a Study of the Black Prince, the Sea, the Sea and the Good Apprentice
    ILLUSION AND REALITY IN THE FICTION OF IRIS MURDOCH: A STUDY OF THE BLACK PRINCE, THE SEA, THE SEA AND THE GOOD APPRENTICE by REBECCA MODEN A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY (Mode B) Department of English School of English, Drama and American and Canadian Studies University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis considers how Iris Murdoch radically reconceptualises the possibilities of realism through her interrogation of the relationship between life and art. Her awareness of the unreality of realist conventions leads her to seek new forms of expression, resulting in daring experimentation with form and language, exploration of the relationship between author and character, and foregrounding of the artificiality of the text. She exposes the limitations of language, thereby involving herself with issues associated with the postmodern aesthetic. The Black Prince is an artistic manifesto in which Murdoch repeatedly destroys the illusion of the reality of the text in her attempts to make language communicate truth. Whereas The Black Prince sees Murdoch contemplating Hamlet, The Sea, The Sea meditates on The Tempest, as Murdoch returns to Shakespeare in order to examine the relationship between life and art.

  • 1 No- G COMEDY and the EARLY NOVELS of IRIS MURDOCH Larry
    no- G 1 COMEDY AND THE EARLY NOVELS OF IRIS MURDOCH Larry/Rockefeller A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 1968 Approved by Doctoral Committee _Adviser Department of English I a Larry Jean Rockefeller 1969 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PREFACE Why has Iris Murdoch failed in her attempt to resur­ rect the novel of characters? That is the question which has perplexed so many readers who find in her novels sig­ nificant statements about the human condition rendered by a talent equalled only by a handful of other writers of our time, and it is the question which the pages follow­ ing try to answer. In general, the implicit argument under­ lying those pages is tripartite: (1) only comedy of a kind which resembles closely Murdoch's conception of love will allow a novelist to detach himself enough from his charac­ ters to give them a tolerant scope within which to humanly exist; (2) Murdoch has succeeded in maintaining that balanced synthesis between acceptance and judgement only in her earli­ est work and only with complete success in The Bell; and (3) the increasingly bitter tone of her satire — not to mention just the mere fact of her use of satire as a mode for character creation — has, in her most recent work, blighted the vitality of her characters by too strictly limiting them to usually negative meanings. Close analysis has been made, hence, of the ways in which comic devices affect us as readers in our perception of Murdoch's per­ sons.

  • Peter J. Conradi IRIS MURDOCH: the SAINT and the ARTIST New York: St
    The audience for which Walkiewicz has written is difficult to identify. A student is not apt to grasp the modest directive when asked to consider the relationship of the famous essays to "the ontogeny of Barth's corpus" and to view that relationship as "metaphoric rather than strictly exegetic or completely correlative." Instructed that ontogeny recapitulating cosmogeny is "of course" (!) the governing principle of Finnegans Wake, even professors of literature will find themselves daunted. What audience that requires those goosy headlines is properly addressed in such a manner? The irony is that Walkiewicz deserves an audience for this otherwise careful and generally successful book. Peter J. Conradi IRIS MURDOCH: THE SAINT AND THE ARTIST New York: St. Martin's Press, 1986. Pp. xvi + 304 Reviewed by Amin Malak With the publication of her twenty-second novel, The Good Apprentice, Iris Murdoch proves once again to her critics and admirers alike that hers are a talent and an energy that deserve close and alert scrutiny. Peter Conradi's Iris Murdoch: The Saint and the Artist represents a welcome addition to the now established and steadily growing Murdoch criticism. Interest­ ingly, Conradi's book combines mainstream Murdoch scholarship, which usually follows a predictable pattern of examining her novels within the context of her critical and philosophical pronouncements, with original insights based on sympathetic, clear-headed reading of Mur­ doch's fiction. Avoiding a chronological survey of Murdoch's work, Conradi divides his book into three parts based on three rather vaguely defined conceptual perspectives. The first, entitled "A Kind of Moral Psychology," deals with Under the Net, An Accidental Man, A Severed Head, Bruno's Dream.

  • Ewa Wełnie the LIMITS of IRIS
    A C T A U N I V E R S I T A T I S L 0 D Z 1 E N S I S F O L I A L IT IERAR IA 29, 1990 ______________ Ewa Wełnie THE LIMITS OF IRIS MURDOCH'S AR IIS TRY Artistic development in the case of Iris Murdoch should al- ways be discussed in connection with the novelist’s philoso- phical ideas and her views on the theory of literature. Iris Murdoch’s own theory of the novel arose from her moral philo- sophy and her novels reflect all the transformations and modi- fications of concepts and the reconsiderations of the author in this field*. The strictly philosophical interests of Iris Murdoch have gone from existentialism to platonism which is also reflected in the subsequent novels, beginning with the partial- ly existential "Under the Net” (1954) up to the more platonist "The Sea, the Sea" (1978) and finishing with the twenty third novel, the most recent so far, "The Book and the Brotherhood" (1 98 7 ). Iris Murdoch believes that clear and meaningful concepts can 2 form the basis for reaching moral excellence . This theoreti- A brief survey of the ideas expressed so far by Iris Mur- doch can be found in my article "Iris Murdoch: Theory and Prac- tice - Characterization in "The Sea, the Sea", "Wydawnictwo Nau- kowe WSP w Bydgoszczy" I9B1, Studia-filologiczne, z. 13. Com- plete bibliography of Iris Murdoch’s works and the up to date criticism concerning them can be found in my doctoral disser- tation "Konstrukcja postaci i technika narracji w powieściach Iris Murdoch" (Uniwersytet Łódzki, 1985) whicłi is already ac- cepted for publication by the Scientific Society in Torurt and will soon appear under the title "Iris Murdoch - powieściopi- sarka i moralistka".

This might be done by the poet, whose name we might or might not know, giving a whole poem over to such consideration, or stopping that action, the narrative flow of a longer work, to direct his gaze, his characters’ gaze, our gaze, for a while, at such a thing or things.
