Woolf was a liberal intellectual \u2013 he travelled out with the complete works of Voltaire in his luggage, in 70 volumes \u2013 and he was not enamoured of the white colonial society he found himself in. He threw himself into his administrative work, was promoted to Assistant Government Agent and in 1908 he was put in charge of running his own district in south-east Ceylon, Hambantota Province, which covered 1,000 square miles and contained 100,000 people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-93415\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/leonard-woof-s-remarkable-novel-2.png\" alt=\"Leonard Woolf\u2019s Remarkable Novel - By Michael Roberts\" width=\"461\" height=\"322\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\"><em><span class=\"ssrcss-1hn5d7b-StyledFigureCopyright e34k3c20\" role=\"text\"><span class=\"visually-hidden ssrcss-1f39n02-VisuallyHidden e1y6uwnp0\">IMAGE SOURCE,<\/span>GETTY IMAGES<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"ssrcss-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i86\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-component=\"text-block\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-7uxr49-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Woolf taught himself Sinhalese and Tamil and he travelled all over his district, dealing with agriculture, justice, public health, road-building, taxation and petty problems of every kind. He got to know the people of the area and the hard lives that they led. He kept a detailed diary of his daily activities, which still survives and was published in 1963, and he drew on it heavily when he came to write\u00a0<strong><em>The Village in the Jungle<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0on his return to England in 1911. There\u2019s a murder in the novel, for example, which is just like an incident which Woolf himself had to investigate, the corpse slowly swelling in the heat. And there\u2019s a trial, which takes place in the very court-room in Hanbantota where Woolf himself sat as the magistrate. So the book is detailed in its authenticity and observation. It\u2019s not invented by someone who hasn\u2019t been there.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ssrcss-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i86\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-component=\"text-block\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-7uxr49-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Perhaps this is why the book is so well known in Sri Lanka \u2013 it\u2019s seen as a sociological or ethnographic description of south-east Ceylon in the early 1900s \u2013 and almost completely neglected in Britain. It\u2019s not part of the literature of Imperial Adventure \u2013 there\u2019s no white hero finding\u00a0<em>King Solomon\u2019s Mines<\/em>\u00a0or a\u00a0<em>Treasure Island.<\/em>\u00a0It\u2019s not part of the literature of Imperial Derangement either. There\u2019s no Mr Kurtz, driven mad by the atrocities of enslavement, as in Joseph Conrad\u2019s\u00a0<em>Heart of Darkness<\/em>.\u00a0<em>The Village in the Jungle<\/em>\u00a0is different because it\u2019s not about Us, but wholly about Them. It was very advanced in 1913, when many people in Europe were racist.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ssrcss-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i86\" style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-component=\"text-block\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-7uxr49-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Leonard Woolf said that his experience of empire made him a liberal, and his later witnessing of poverty in the East End of London made him a socialist. He worked with the Co-Operative movement, became a Fabian and wrote a book in 1916, International Government, which influenced the founders of the League of Nations, the forerunner of the United Nations. There followed other works on economics and imperialism and a five-volume autobiography before he died in 1969.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ssrcss-uf6wea-RichTextComponentWrapper e1xue1i86\" data-component=\"text-block\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-7uxr49-RichTextContainer e5tfeyi1\">\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph eq5iqo00\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">But of all Leonard Woolf\u2019s works, the slim volume\u00a0<em>The Village in the Jungle<\/em>\u00a0will probably live the longest. It was written 10 years before the far better-known novel of imperial cross-purposes by his friend EM Forster,\u00a0<em>A Passage to India<\/em>, and 20 years before George Orwell\u2019s critique of empire,\u00a0<em>Burmese Days<\/em>, based on his experiences as an officer in the Indian Imperial Police. The book represents a shift in 20th Century consciousness \u2013 from north to south, from top to bottom, from ruler to ruled, from agent to acted upon. It shines the light of intelligent sympathy on the desperately benighted, the world\u2019s poor.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leonard Woolf\u2019s Remarkable Novel &#8211;
