— Appears in: World Literature Written in English , November vol. 17 no. 2 1978; (p. 488-504)
Rosenberg compares Robbery Under Arms with Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and attempts to demonstrate the symbolic action of the former. Rosenberg discusses the Hollow as a symbolic prison and the horse as a symbol of freedom.
1 1 Narrative Perspective and Cultural History in 'Robbery Under Arms' Jerome H. Rosenberg , 1973 single work criticism
— Appears in: Australian Literary Studies , May vol. 6 no. 1 1973; (p. 11-23)
Rosenberg looks at Robbery Under Arms as a reflection of Boldrewood's ideas about life. George Storefield and Dick Marston represent different poles between which Browne wished to situate himself. This desire often causes narrative inconsistency as the author intrudes on Dick Marston's narrative. But the restrictive narrative environment reflects Dick Marston's condition and so Boldrewood "captures his country's choice of a culture hero".
