Summary "Robbery Under Arms" by Rolf Boldrewood is a novel written during the late 19th century that explores the rugged and adventurous life in the Australian bush. The narrative is told from the perspective of Dick Marston, a young man entangled in a life of bush-ranging and crime, reflecting on his past choices, the camaraderie of his youth, and the consequences of his actions. At the start of the novel, the protagonist, Dick Marston, finds himself imprisoned and awaiting execution for his role in bush-ranging—a term for armed robbery in rural settings. He grapples with the reality of his impending death while reminiscing about his reckless past filled with adventure, freedom, and mischief alongside his comrades. The opening chapters set the stage for a deeper exploration of his family background, his father's dubious activities, and the relationships that have shaped his life, particularly with his siblings and childhood friends. Dick's internal conflict and the vivid descriptions of his surroundings promise a gripping tale of adventure, moral struggle, and the harsh realities of life as an outlaw in Australia.
