Iris Murdoch is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century.
This collection brings together friends, colleagues, fellow and past students, and those who worked with her to celebrate Iris Murdoch's life, and mark the centenary of her birth. All contributors reflect on the impact that Murdoch had on their lives as friend, guide, and inspiration. This collection adds substantially to the biographical works already published, and gives a more rounded vision of her both as an intellectual, and a woman who valued her time out of the public eye. Finally, her friend, and fellow author, A. N. Wilson reflects on his own biography of Murdoch, the impact she had on his own life and writing, and why she was, ultimately, only fully knowable to herself.
Included are many previously unpublished unique photographs of Iris relaxing and in the company of her closest friends.
This centenary celebration of Iris Murdoch's life comprises eighteen tributes from various points of view. Whether she is glimpsed in these pages as a friend, a tutor, a godmother or a writer, or seen from the perspective of a child, a publisher, a politician or a portraitist, the picture that emerges remains constant: gracious, tolerant, fun-loving and wise. In its illustration of the depth of her humanity, this unique portrait of Iris Murdoch will enrich her status as one of the twentieth-century's most significant writers and thinkers.
Anne Rowe, Visiting Professor at the University of Chichester and author of Iris Murdoch (Writers and their Work series) co-author of Iris Murdoch: A Literary Life
This is a book of tributes to Iris Murdoch from those who knew her personally. They show her to be the best of friends: modest, imaginative, loyal, very generous, genuinely interested in others and, above all, immensely kind. It is clear from these short essays that Murdoch did not just think about goodness: she tried to live it every day. Iris Murdoch: A Centenary Celebration offers a fresh perspective on a great author and will be welcomed by both scholars and general readers alike.

Описание: Explores how popular culture and entertainments are seen, heard, and felt in Emily Dickinson`s writing. Sandra Runzo proposes that the presence of popular entertainment in Dickinson`s life and work opens our eyes to new dimensions of the poems, illuminating the ways in which the poet was attentive to strife and conflict, to amusement, and to play.
In Britain's Living Past, writer Anthony Burton and photographer Rob Scott explore Britain's rich heritage of traditional cultural and working practices, looking at how we work and play in ways that have survived into the modern age with all their vitality intact. The book covers everything from farming and fishing practices to travelling shows, circuses and fairgrounds to sports, music, pubs, transport, and even old shops. They visit the Appleby Horse Fair in Cumbria, Cotswold Lavender Farm in Gloucestershire, a vintage bicycle rally in Yorkshire, the Up Helly Aa Viking festival in the Shetland Islands, as well as pubs, shops, circuses, the highland games, steamships and even the Gurning World Championship.
Rob Scott's beautiful photographs accompany fascinating text by Anthony Burton. The book is broken down into different themes, and each location or event discusses the history, the current-day practices, the people involved, and how the practices are still a vital part of modern-day life for communities. The book will appeal to anyone interested in Britain's rich heritage and history.
