Rolf Boldrewood

Focusing on pastoral life in Australia, the author explores the experiences of a squatter through engaging narratives. Known for his bushranging novel Robbery Under Arms, Thomas Alexander Browne, writing as Rolf Boldrewood, captures the complexities of Australian life in his works. His early contributions to the Cornhill Magazine and the Australian showcase his literary talent, culminating in the publication of Ups and Downs: A Story of Australian Life in 1878, later re-issued as The Squatter's Dream in 1890.
