"In 'The Green Knight', her 25th novel, Iris Murdoch explores questions that have informed many of her other works: What is the connection between art and morality? How are we to reinvent a system of ethics for our time? How can we wrest ourselves from our dependence on science to provide solutions for our problems? How are we to regenerate our engagement with the world? How, as she asked in 1961 in her essay 'Against Dryness', can we 'rediscover a sense of the destiny of our lives'? ...Ms. Murdoch offers a keen satire on the way we create fantasies and diversions to protect ourselves from moral complexities and spiritual vacuity."Murdoch, Iris is the author of 'Green Knight', published 1995 under ISBN 9780140243376 and ISBN 0140243372.
