Can she ever escape?"

Download or read book A Cultural History of the Bushranger Legend in Theatres and Cinemas 18282017 written by Andrew James Couzens and published by Anthem Press. This book was released on 2019-01-31 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Outlaw Nation’ is a multidisciplinary investigation into the history of cultural representations of the bushranger legend on the stage and screen, charting that history from its origins in colonial theatre works performed while bushrangers still roamed Australia’s bush to contemporary Australian cinema. It considers the influences of industrial, political and social disruptions on these representations as well as their contributions to those disruptions. The cultural history recounted in ‘Outlaw Nation’ provides not only an insight into the role of popular narrative representations of bushrangers in the development and reflection of Australian character, but also a detailed case study of the specific mechanisms at work in the symbiosis between a nation’s values and its creative production.
