About This Item
-Oxford University Press (2011)-. Peter J Conradi (Editor). First Us edition first impression 2011. 303 pages. Illustrated. Cloth. Very good in dustjacket. These never before published writings comprise Iris Murdoch's passionate wartime correspondence with two early intimates: the poet Frank Thompson, brother of the historian E.P. Thompson, who was killed in 1944, and David Hicks, with whom she had a dramatic affair, engagement, and breakup. It also includes the journal that Murdoch kept as a touring actress during August of 1939. The selection sheds new light on a brilliant young mind (sharp and polished as a sword as Frances Wilson describes it), while painting a vivid picture of life during the Second World War.
