This perceptive critique of Iris Murdoch and her works goes well beyond what its title implies, for it is more than just a Freudian reading of the novels. Turner also examines Murdoch's fiction, philosophy, and popular appeal from the theoretical perspectives offered by Lacanian psychoanalysis and reader-response criticism. His insights are challenging, sometimes shocking, and well-defined throughout. Turner's provides both the general reader and the Murdoch scholar a refreshingly original view of her literary achievement. (Thomas J. Rice, University of South Carolina)
