Becoming Iris Murdoch

The Lost Jerusalem

The Lost Jerusalem

12 September 2023By Miles LeesonBlog

Few authors write and subsequently publish their first attempted work, and Iris was no exception. Several novels were started and later discarded (almost certainly destroyed) in the late 1940s and early 1950s. We know very little about any of these save ‘Our Lady of the Bosky Gates’.
