| Summary |
"Rolf Boldrewood (T. A. Browne) was one of the best-known novelists of nineteenth-century Australia. Robbery Under Arms brought him a national and an international audience. It became a household name, and has remained in print since 1889." "Boldrewood was the first novelist to create specifically Australian characters. He produced more than a dozen other novels, as well as short stories and occasional journalism, but none of his other works achieved the popularity of Robbery Under Arms." "Boldrewood's historical importance lies in his role as one of the chief spokesmen for old (pre-goldush) Australia; for pastoral Australia; and above all, for conservative Australia. This biography attempts to uncover Boldrewood's ideas, and to reveal the life of the man who was Boldrewood's alter ego, Thomas Alexander Browne (1826-1915)."--BOOK JACKET |
