‘Laverty has taken philosophical discussion of Murdoch a good deal further for us all ... Laverty's book offers a wealth of insight and illumination, both about Murdoch and about the broader issues of continuing philosophical importance to which she links Murdoch's work. Anyone interested in Murdoch's philosophy, but also others with an interest in the wider context in which Laverty locates Murdoch, will find Laverty's book stimulating and fruitful. And it will certainly become an indispensable text for further philosophical work inspired by Murdoch's writings.'   Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews, 2008

• Introduction; Chapter One: A Philosophy of the 'Third Way'; Chapter Two: Reading Murdoch: Literary Form and Philosophical Precedents; Chapter Three: Romanticism Reconsidered; Chapter Four: Resistance and Reconciliation; Chapter Five: Murdoch's Romantic Vision; Bibliography; Index.
