Writing That Conquers: Re-Reading Knox's An Historical Relation of the Island of Ceylon
---
Sarojini Jayawickrama
Robert Knox's An Historical Relation of the Island of Ceylon, published in 1681, recounts his experiences on the island during his nearly 20 year stay there. It remains an important source on Sri Lanka in that period. Naturally Knox's views are coloured by his British background as he recounts unfamiliar practices he encountered. In this book the author extracts from the original work what Knox missed, presenting a different memory than that generated by a colonial mindset. Good Paperback. Reprint. Originally published in 2005. 350 pages with a bibliography, an index and some illustrations.
