Autorenporträt
Rolf Boldrewood was the pen name of Thomas Alexander Browne (1826-1915), an Australian writer famed for his fictional works that have become hallmarks of colonial literature in Australia. Boldrewood was born in London but moved with his family to Sydney when he was just five. His writing presents an authentic portrayal of Australian life during the 19th century, often drawing on his experiences living in the bush and working as a squatter, a magistrate, and a gold commissioner. Boldrewood's most famous novel, 'Robbery Under Arms,' is considered a classic of Australian literature, depicting bushranging and the harsh yet alluring landscape of the outback. His writing style is marked by robust action, vivid characterization, and an affectionate rendition of the Australian vernacular. 'War to the Knife;' or, Tangata Maori, another work by Boldrewood, explores the themes of conflict and survival and displays his characteristic insight into the interactions between different cultures during the periods of colonial expansion. Boldrewood's literary contributions provide an invaluable insight into Australian frontier life and ever remain a testament to his talent in capturing the spirit of an era. His works continue to be studied for their cultural and historical significance and enjoy a lasting legacy in the canon of Australian literature.
