March 2010: Murdoch fans have been eagerly awaiting David Morgan's memoir entitled With Love and Rage, newly published by Kingston University Press. Morgan met Iris Murdoch in the 1960s when he was studying at the Royal College of Art. This controversial new memoir is a frank account of a 30-year relationship with Iris Murdoch and details are revealed here for the first time. She is not thought of as a London figure but this is an irreverent yet tender picture of her from the London end. Critical reaction has been that it throws new light on her and her work, particularly on the way people and events in her life may have been used as source material in her writing.

December 2011: Sign up for Twitter to follow Iris Murdoch (@IrisMurdoch). Official tweets from the Centre for Iris Murdoch Studies and the Iris Murdoch Society.

The Sixth Iris Murdoch International Conference will be held at Kingston University on 14/15 September 2012. Panels will focus primarily on Murdoch's later works (novels and philosophy). Speakers will include Professor Charles Lock, Anne Chisholm, Dr Sabina Lovibond and Professor Philip Hensher. Further details may be found at the Kingston University website.
