A Severed Head What is the setting of A Severed Head by Iris Murdoch? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 05:06 Last updated by Cat on 05 Feb 05:37
London, capital city of Britain, is the main setting of the story. The only sites outside London are relatively nearby. The story is set in the winter months; therefore, it is often rainy, snowy and/or foggy in addition to the cold.
