Jean Iris Murdoch (15 July 1919 – 8 February 1999) was an Irish and British novelist and philosopher, best known for her novels about good and evil, sexual relationships, morality, and the power of the unconscious. Her first published novel, *Under the Net* (1954), was selected in 1998 as one of Modern Library's 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. Her 1978 novel *The Sea, The Sea* won the Booker Prize. In 1987, she was made a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II for services to literature. In 2008, *The Times* ranked Murdoch twelfth on a list of "The 50 greatest British writers since 1945". (Source: [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_Murdoch))
