The Autobiography of Leonard Woolf is an essential read for those interested in early 20th-century literature, British political history, and the intricate dynamics of the Bloomsbury Group. Leonard Woolf (18801969) was more than just the husband of Virginia Woolf; he was a distinguished writer, political thinker, and a central figure in the Bloomsbury Group. His autobiography offers a nuanced understanding of his contributions beyond his association with Virginia. The detailed accounts of his administrative role in Ceylon provide a candid perspective on colonial governance and its complexities. Moreover, his reflections on international relations and political ideologies offer valuable insights into the intellectual currents of his time. Volume Overview: +++ 1. Sowing (1960): This inaugural volume delves into Woolf's early life, detailing his childhood experiences and academic journey at Cambridge University. It provides insight into the formative years that shaped his worldview. +++ 2. Growing (1961): Focusing on his tenure in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) from 1904 to 1911, this volume chronicles his role as a colonial administrator. It paints a vivid picture of his experiences and observations during this period +++ 3. Beginning Again (1964): Covering the years 1911 to 1918, this section explores Woolf's personal life, including his marriage to Virginia Stephen (later Virginia Woolf), and the challenges they faced during World War I. +++ 4. Downhill All the Way (1967): This volume addresses the interwar years, highlighting the socio-political upheavals of the time and their impact on Woolf's perspectives. +++ 5. The Journey Not the Arrival Matters (1969): The final installment reflects on the latter part of Woolf's life, including the profound loss of his wife and his continued engagement in literary and political spheres until his death.
