Annotation |
Noting Iris Murdoch made reference to her debt to Simone Weil, Purcell attempts to link what he refers to as impressions derived from his reading of Murdoch’s The Green Knight, to some ‘concepts’ in Weil’s work. The major portion of the essay is his exposition of Murdoch’s novel followed by a very brief reflection on Weil’s concepts of affliction and beauty. |
