Re-Reading Iris Murdoch’ s Early Fiction
The quest of Iris Murdoch to perceive some rays of light piercing through the mist of human confusion and folly will go on for 21 more novels. I’m looking forward to continue my exploration.
The Flight from the Enchanter
The Lost Jerusalem
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’.
