- Bolton's monograph is the first sustained consideration of the philosophy of Iris Murdoch in relation to cinema. This entails comprehensive engagement with the works produced during Murdoch's 40-year philosophical career, explication and analysis of the presence of film in Murdoch?s archives, non-fiction writings and personal correspondence, and the formulation of a framework for Murdochian film-philosophy. Each chapter details an element of Murdoch's philosophical thinking in dialogue with at least three films (twenty-five in total), which are explored and critiqued through close analysis using a Murdochian philosophical lens. The book is 110,000 words and represents five years of research.
