As a historical fiction, it provides a discerning reflection of the times, woven seamlessly with the social and cultural fabric of 19th-century Australia. Boldrewood's prose serves not merely to tell a tale but to resonate with the rich tradition of Australian bush storytelling.

Autoren-Porträt von Rolf Boldrewood
Rolf Boldrewood is the pseudonym of Thomas Alexander Browne (1826-1915), a notable figure in Australian colonial literature. Browne adopted his pen name, Rolf Boldrewood, from a character in a story he had read as a youngster, which he felt captured the adventurous and robust spirit of his writings. Born in London, he immigrated with his family to Sydney in 1831 at a young age and spent much of his life on the Australian frontier. This direct experience of bush life and his work as a squatter, gold miner, and, for a time, a police magistrate, gave him an authentic perspective on the Australian experience, which he vividly brought to life through his literary works. Notably, Boldrewood is best remembered for his novel 'Robbery Under Arms,' a classic work that stands as a testament to his narrative skill and engaging storytelling. Nonetheless, his book 'Plain Living: A Bush Idyll' contributes to his literary repertoire by encapsulating the essence of Australian bush life and pioneering spirit. Boldrewood's literary style is characterized by a mix of romance, realism, and adventure, effectively portraying the challenges and the often harsh realities of colonial life, yet always with an underlying sense of optimism and progress. His work remains an important part of the canon of Australian literature, offering readers insights into the formative years of Australian society and identity.
