Shakespeare, T.S. Eliot and Iris Murdoch: The Shaman and the Intertext
In this talk Rob Hardy will explore the consequences of two statements: (1) that Iris Murdoch was a shaman in the sense that Ted Hughes said that Shakespeare and T.S Eliot were, and (2) that Murdoch’s shamanism was deeply linked to the intertextuality of her fiction.
Dr Rob Hardy teaches at Shanghai IS University (China) and is the author of Psychological and Religious Narratives in Iris Murdoch’s Fiction.
