About This Item
London: Short Books, 2010. First edition, third impression, 2010. Hardback. 303pp. Dust jacket. Includes Iris Murdoch's intimate war-time correspondence with two men - Frank Thompson, the poet, and David Hicks, a teacher in Cairo. Also includes the journal that Murdoch, as a touring actress, kept during late August 1939, conveying the uniquely strange atmosphere of that count-down to Armageddon. This treasury of writing by one of the great women writers and thinkers of the 20th century sheds new light on a brilliant mind. It is also a remarkable historical document of life behind the scenes in the Second World War. Book in very good condition. A little toning to text block edges. Dust jacket very good and unclipped. Spine just a little faded and some very light edge wear.
