Paperback. Etat : Sehr gut. 129 p. In very good condition. - In this incisive exploration into the art of Iris Murdoch, Deborah Johnson poses for the first time the question of the extent to which Murdoch's writing can be seen to offer feminist perspectives. -- Though she is not an overtly feminist writer, Iris Murdoch focuses her novels around the issues attendant on relationships between the sexes. Her novels consistently disconcert and fascinate both female and male readers by continually questioning gender identity and transgressing gender boundaries. -- This pioneering study explores some of the ambiguities at the heart of Iris Murdoch's treatment of female experience. In her scrupulous and revealing attention to the formal devices of Murdoch's fiction, Deborah Johnson demonstrates the extent to which the language of the novels works to undermine the assumptions embedded in the dominant discourse and expresses some of the most prevailing feminist issues. -- In showing the extent to which Iris Murdoch's novels are deeply expressive of feminist questions, this book lays the foundation for a new understanding of the connection between Murdoch's art and her philosophy and suggests important new ways of understanding how this major twentieth century writer turns the divided self to creative account.
