内容説明

In this revised study of Iris Murdoch's fiction, the author argues that her spirited earlier work gave way to a deeper more comic style in the 1970s and 80s. He regards her novels as being serious entertainment and as important fictions in the Anglo-Russian tradition, not as disguised philosophy. For this second edition, Dr Conradi has added a chapter on her most recent fiction "The Good Apprentice" and "The Book and the Brotherhood" and relates her work to that of Dostoevsky. The author has published articles on John Fowles and Dostoevsky.
