The Centre for Iris Murdoch Studies at Kingston University have acquired a run of 164 letters, written between 1946 and 1975 from Iris Murdoch to the French writer Raymond Queneau.
Iris Murdoch’s troubled private life and insecurities about her ability as a writer are laid bare in a previously unpublished set of letters to the French poet and novelist Raymond Queneau. The letters were recently bought by Kingston University in South West London and are now open for public inspection for the first time.
