The Second World War marked an ethical turn in British fiction. The author of this study demonstrates this by closely examining John Fowles's and Iris Murdoch's works as post-war meta-textual magical-realist novels interested in ethics and the nature of contemporary reality. These ethical novels transcend mere morality to explore the essence of the Good. Through paradigms of human experience, they direct our attention towards the Other and impart moral principles based on acts of Goodness.
The author assesses the moral intimations in Fowles's
The Magus
and Murdoch's
The Sea, the Sea
in the context of their philosophical writings, mainly
The Aristos
and
Metaphysics as a Guide to Morals
respectively. She shows that Fowles and Murdoch endeavour to instruct the reader morally through the accessible language of fiction.
