- W13019131 abstract "Although we have had philosophers who write prose fiction and also novelists whom we call philosophical, Miss Iris Murdoch approaches philosophy as professional academician; and she considers prose fictionalthough in decline and in dangerto be desperately important means of expression. As critical acclaim continues to expand her reputation, it is all the more interesting to go back to her frequently expressed feelings of the urgency for rejuvenation of the novel, in order to compare her theory with her practice. On the one hand, there is the simple desire to see how well she executes her own principles; but more importantly, even the highest praise for her work as novelist is always made with the admission that her works are complex, often puzzling, and certainly dominated by multiplicity of aims. Thus it is all the more necessary for readers to know what lies behind this imagination which Mr. Malcolm Bradbury has characterized as ornately baroque.1 Miss Murdoch's professional competence in philosophy gives her pronouncements on the novel perspective and breadth that are perhaps lacking in the more personally literary essays of Virginia Woolf or Nathalie Sarraute. In addition, she acknowledges her debt to the work of her husband, John Bayley, who is himself broadranging, philosophical literary critic.2 Here again we encounter some of the same puzzling complexity that characterizes her novels; her own political convictions, she says, are left-wing, whereas the aesthetic theories of Mr. Bayley, with which she expresses profound agreement, are in essence conservative. This blend of elements gives to her pronouncements blend of urgency and wisdom which, if rare enough qualities by themselves, are even rarer in combination. Probably the most typical and systematic expressions of her convictions are in her Bergen lecture at Yale University, delivered in October of 1959, and in a polemical sketch in Encounter magazine in 1961.8" @default.
