Much of our conception of the relationship between Iris Murdoch and John Bayley, happily married for over forty years, comes from Bayley's memoirs, and the Oscar-winning film adaptation of the first, Iris (2001). But what do we know of their life together outside of their public appearances and international travel?
A free walking tour of the city, provided by accredited local guides, starting at the Market Cross in Chichester's centre, by the Cathedral.
The Eleventh International Conference on Iris Murdoch studies will take place at the University of Chichester in 2024. The conference will showcase ongoing, and published, Murdoch scholarship with a particular focus on Aspirations and Inspirations.
To celebrate the end of the conference we have organised an evening at the George and Dragon Tavern in the city.
