  • 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Studies University of Birmingham September 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. 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.

  • 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".

  • Iris Murdoch's Realism 2 the Insistence of the Past
    Notes 1 Revisiting the sublime and the beautiful: Iris Murdoch's realism 1. The connection between romanticism and modernism is not by any means unprecedented, of course. See, for example, Waugh (1992) and Jameson (1981). 2. The influence is most clearly apparent in Murdoch's book on Sartre (82-3), and she refers to Lukacs in the interview with Magee (1978). See Lukacs (1950, 1963). 3. Two useful discussions of Murdoch's construction of an underlying myth in her earlier novels can be found in Souvage (1962) and Byatt (1965). 4. Murdoch's attitude towards myth is examined in relation to modernism in Wasson (1969) and Byatt (1991). 5. See, for example, Philippe Lacoue-Labarthe and Jean-Luc Nancy, The Literary Absolute: The Theory of Literature in German Romanticism (New York: State University of New York Press 1988) and Paul Hamilton, Wordsworth (Brighton: Harvester 1986). 6. For a thorough; informative discussion of Murdoch's engagement with Western philosophy, see Heusel (1995). 7. A detailed assessment of the significance of Wei! on Murdoch's philosophy can be found in Byatt (1965). 8. See, for example, Bersani (1992), Belsey (1980) and Eagleton (1986a). 9. See Goode (1966), the chapter 'Character and Liberalism' in Bergonzi (1970) and Bayley (1974). 10. This quotation comes from an interview in The Listener, 4 April1968, cited in Bergonzi (1970). 11. Gordon (1995: 89). 12. The term psychoanalysis, as Bruno Bettelheim has explained, resulted from Freud's deep humanist aspiration to be 'midwife of the soul' - a phrase used by the American poet and former patient of Freud, Hilda Doolittle (Bettelheim 1982).

  • The Impact of Religion on Iris Murdoch's Fiction
    VEDA’S JOURNAL OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE (JOELL) Vol. 1 Issue 2 An International Peer Reviewed Journal 2014 http://www.joell.in RESEARCH ARTICLE THE IMPACT OF RELIGION ON IRIS MURDOCH’S FICTION Dr. Arpana (Associate Professor & Head ,Department of English ,SSM College, Dinanagar, Punjab 145001) ABSTRACT For some people religion is taken as an experience of individuals but for Iris, religion is always a feeling of love and goodness. In her fiction, she shows how middle class values continue to work in religious dilemma. Murdoch points out how people expect redemption from religious men and refuse to accept help from them when they lose their faith in God. The paper examines some of her novels from religious point of view. She through her characters confirms her belief in religion that if they disbelieve in the existence of god they will be deprived of the hope and consolation of forgiveness. Their lack of faith in God makes them blind to the possibilities of reconciliation. Article Info: Article Received: 19/09/2014 Revised on: 25/09/2014 Accepted on: 28/09/2014 keywords: Religion, Reconciliation ,Faith, Morality, © Copyright VEDA Publication Religion, according to Murdoch involves forfeit, consideration, and magic are popular ways of goodness that has a set of beliefs in it. She has also any religion. The most important is the way of remarked: It is felt to be important that religion worship, and closely linked with it, is the conduct of should be flexible and argumentative, centered upon its followers. Love towards God expresses itself and the individual and that no alleged transcendent must express itself through love of man, in whatever metaphysical realities, such as God, or History or the form it can be more effectual.
