Iris Murdoch: A Life by Peter J. Conradi - Signed First Edition A full and revealing biography of one of the century's greatest English writers and an icon to a generation Dame Iris Murdoch has played a major role in English life and letter for nearly half a century. As a novelist, as a thinker, and as a private individual, her life has significance for our age. There is a recognizable Murdoch world, and the adjective 'Murdochian' has entered the language to describe situations where a small group of people interact intricately and strangely. Her story is as emotionally fascinating as that of Virginia Woolf, but far less well-known; hers has been an adventurous, highly eventful life, a life of phenomenal emotional and intellectual pressures, and her books portray a real world which is if anything toned down as well as mythicised. For Iris's formative years, astonishingly, movingly and intimately documented by Conradi's meticulous research, were spent among the leading European and British intellectuals who fought and endured the Second World War, and her life like her books was full of the most extraordinary passions and profound relationships with some of the most inspiring and influential thinkers, artists, writers and poets of that turbulent time and after. In good condition with clean pages inside. Title page is inscribed by the author in blue ink and dated Nov 2001.
