This article aims to reassess her legacy as a writer by analysing from a feminist perspective one of her most acclaimed novels, 'The Sea, The Sea' (1978). The tension between the androcentric approach of a self-deluded male narrator and a female author whose worldview is strongly influenced by her gender results in a feminist critique which is not based on the recovery of a female voice, but on the exploration of patriarchy within the novel and the production of a feminist epistemology derived from a dialogue between Murdoch's fiction and philosophy.}, publisher = {Berghahn}, publisher = {Critical survey, 2022, 34(1), 27-44}, title = {Romantic Love, Gender Imbalance and Feminist Readings in Iris Murdoch's "The Sea, The Sea"}, author = {GarcĂ­a-Avello, Macarena}, }
