Woolf,Leonard The Village In The Jungle London: Edward Arnold & Co, 1913 No Jacket. 8vo - over 6 ¾" - 9¾" Tall. This is a Very Good Copy of this book in Publ;isher'sd blue cloth with gilt title lettering to spine,no dust-jacket.Lacks the ffep.The book was acquired from the private Library of Richard Strachey [nephew of Lytton Strachey Bloomsbury Set] and bears his bookplate to the front pastedown,with his london address to Title Page.The book was dedicated to his wife Virginia Woolf.Upon returning from Ceylon,where he had served for nearly eight years as a colonial bureaucrat, Leonard Woolf resigned his post in the colonial service and married Virginia Stephen, eventually settling down with her in their new home, Monk's House in Sussex in 1916. Along with Virginia and Vanessa and their Cambridge friends, Leonard Woolf established the "new" Bloomsbury Group as the center of a liberal aesthetic and intellectual culture fashioned after the tradition inherited from the late Victorians. During this period Leonard Woolf wrote his novel The Wise Virgins (1914), and a novel and three short stories based on his experienced in Ceylon, The Village in the Jungle (1913) and "Stories of the East" (1921). Woolf's five-part autobiography was to appear much later in the 1960s. Despite the growing body of scholarship on Bloomsbury, Leonard Woolf's fiction has been of peripheral interest to literary scholars. The Wise Virgins remains his most widely discussed literary work, mainly because of its portrayal of the troubled relationship between Virginia Woolf and her sister Vanessa Bell. (1) Praised by Quentin Bell as a novel of superbly dispassionate observation, but also reviled as a work with "too many blacks in it" (2)--this was the "reason" Lytton Strachey offered for not liking it--The Village in the Jungle was largely ignored by scholars. It was only during the 1960s, nearly fifty years after its first appearance in 1913, that scholars from South Asia recognized the novel as a significant social document about colonial Ceylon. As for "Stories of the East," it failed to generate any interest during Woolf's lifetime, and Woolf's contemporary Bloomsbury friends and peers, who had on other occasions been eager to express their personal views on his work, remained silent about this work. Modern critics seem largely to be unaware of its existence.This is a very scarce title and nice to own particularly with the interesting Association,8vo 307pp First Edition Bookseller Inventory #13821 Price: US$ 1667.12 (Convert Currency) Shipping: Rates & Speed Bookseller: Richard Thornton Books, 25 Beechdale, Winchmore Hill, London, GL, United Kingdom, N21 3QE
