Sommario/riassunto

One of Australia's most notorious outlaws, bushranger Ned Kelly was captured in a spectacular gun-battle at Glenrowan in 1880. Stephen Gaunson illuminates a central irony: from novels to comics to the



branding of the site where he was captured, most cultural representations of Kelly are decidedly lowbrow.
