Bailey British writer, university lecturer and prolific and highly professional novelist, Iris Murdoch dealt with everyday ethical or moral issues, sometimes in the light of myths. As a writer, she was a perfectionist who did not allow editors to change her text. Murdoch produced 26 novels in 40 years, the last written while she was suffering from Alzheimer disease. "She wanted, through her novels, to reach all possible readers, in different ways and by different means: by the excitement of her story, its pace and its comedy, through its ideas and its philosophical implications, through the numinous atmosphere of her own original and created worldthe world she must have glimpsed as she considered and planned her first steps in the art of fiction." (John Bailey in Elegy for Iris Iris Murdoch was born in Dublin - the name 'Murdoch' is essentially Scots Gaelic. Her mother, the former Irene Alice Richardson, was an Irishwoman who had trained as an opera singer. Wills John Hughes Murdoch, Iris's father, was an English civil servant who had been a cavalry officer in World War I. Following the war, he worked as a government clerk. The family moved to London, where Murdoch grew up in the western suburbs of Hammersmith and Chiswich.

Iris Murdoch Iris Murdoch Latest Biography guardian.co.uk Tuesday 22 July 2008 15.39 BST "All artists dream of a silence which they must enter, as some creatures return to the sea to spawn." Birthplace Dublin, Ireland Education Somerville College, Oxford (classics, ancient history and philosophy); Newnham College, Cambridge Other jobs Civil servant, lecturer at Oxford University Did you know? She was a postgraduate student under Ludwig Wittgenstein. Critical verdict Murdoch brought philosophical rigour, ethical commitment and a huge intellect to fiction; on being asked how long she took off between books, she is said to have replied "about half an hour". Her many novels all feature mythic/symbolic elements and close, complex relationships: she won the Booker for Tempest-retelling The Sea, The Sea. In the last years of her life she descended into Alzheimer's (at first thinking it was simply writer's block), which she described while still lucid as "being in a very, very bad quiet place, a dark place". The first television came into her house in the year before her death.

37. Iris Murdoch - Das Italienische Mädchen / The Italian Girl - LESELUST-Rezension Rezension von Daniela Ecker. http://www.die-leselust.de/buch/murdo001.htm

Iris Murdoch - Das italienische Mädchen Originaltitel: The Italian Girl Roman. Deuticke 1964 189 Seiten, ISBN: 3492229352 Wäre seine Mutter nicht gestorben, Edward hätte wohl noch weitere 8 Jahre keinen Fuß in sein Elternhaus gesetzt. Auch jetzt hat er eigentlich vor, nur zur Einäscherung zu bleiben, und dann mit dem nächsten Zug nach Hause zu fahren. Schon die Einäscherung ist ihm ein Gräuel - sein Bruder Otto, stockbesoffen, muss nach Hause gebracht werden. Zwar bittet ihn die schöne Schwägerin, noch zu bleiben, er würde so dringend hier benötigt, um Wunden zu heilen - doch erst seine Nichte kann ihn dazu überreden. Und auch das nur mit einer für Edward sehr schockierenden Nachricht - sie sei schwanger und brauche seine Hilfe. Am nächsten Morgen, so vereinbaren sie, wollen sie darüber beratschlagen, was zu tun ist. Eine nächtliche Erscheinung, der Edward folgt, enthüllt ihm den ersten Teil des häuslichen Dramas in dieser Familie - doch das ist erst der Anfang. Welche Abgründe, Zwistigkeiten und Leidenschaften hier lauern, hätte er sich nie vorstellen können... Eine starke, gut erzählte Geschichte. Stück für Stück offenbaren sich neue Sichtweisen für Edward; das schlimmste für ihn ist die Tatsache, dass fast überall ein starker sexueller Antrieb dahintersteckt, ein Teil des Lebens, den er daraus verbannt hat.

38. Iris Murdoch - Der Schwarze Prinz / The Black Prince - LESELUST-Rezension Rezension von Daniela Ecker Einer von Iris Murdochs besten Romanen! http://www.die-leselust.de/buch/murdo002.htm

Iris Murdoch - Der Schwarze Prinz Originaltitel: The Black Prince Roman. Piper Verlag 1973 528 Seiten, ISBN: 3492229581 Bradley Pearson, der 58-jährige Finanzbeamte, ist in Frühpension gegangen, um endlich sein großes Werk, sein Buch zu schreiben. Bislang hatte er zwar auch schon 3 Bücher veröffentlicht, sieht sich selbst auch als Schriftsteller; aber sein ganzes bisheriges Leben war eigentlich nur Vorbereitung, Übung für das, was er zu leisten imstande zu sein glaubt. Im Gegensatz zu ihm veröffentlich sein Freund Arnold Baffin jedes Jahr äußerst erfolgreich ein Buch - schnell hingeworfen, wie Bradley geringschätzig und auch neidisch vermerkt, keine Kunst sondern nur Handwerk. Die Zeit zu schreiben steht ihm nun unbegrenzt zur Verfügung; aber die Gedanken, die er zu Papier bringen möchte, die fehlen. Deshalb hatte er beschlossen, sich für eine Weile aus London zurückzuziehen, sich gänzlich abzuschotten. Niemandem hatte er erzählt, dass er wegwollte. Doch als er gerade aus der Stadt verschwinden will, wird sein bis dato so beschaulich-ruhiges Leben auf den Kopf gestellt. Christin, seine Ex-Frau, ist zurück in London, ihr Bruder rückt ihm auf den Pelz, weil er sich erhofft, so wieder einen Platz an der Geldbörse seiner Schwester zu erobern, er wird erst in die Ehestreitigkeiten seines Freundes Arnold Baffin hineingezogen - um danach von dessen Frau beinahe verführt zu werden. Und seine Schwester steht plötzlich vor der Tür, mit dem Leben fertig, da sie ihren Mann verlassen hat. Kein Wunder, dass er sich überfordert fühlt. Doch noch etwas passiert, etwas, womit er nie gerechnet hätte: er verliebt sich rasend in die Tochter seines Freundes Arnold, Julian. Diese ist 20, er kennt sie von Kindesbeinen an - ihm ist klar, dass er niemals irgendjemandem von dieser Liebe erzählen darf.
