Novelist and philosopher Iris Murdoch was born in Dublin, Ireland, in 1919. She moved to London as an infant but retained a strong Irish identity. For a time, she referred to herself as “Anglo-Irish,” a term that suggests affiliation with the landowning Protestant Ascendancy, but in reality Murdoch’s family was lower-middle class.
