註釋

Ned Kelly. The name conjures images of a brazen outlaw, a symbol of defiance against authority, a figure shrouded in myth and legend. For over a century, his story has captivated the Australian imagination, inspiring countless books, films, and works of art. But beyond the romanticized image of the bushranger lies a complex narrative, deeply rooted in the socio-economic realities of 19th-century colonial Australia. This biography seeks to move beyond simplistic portrayals and delve into the intricate circumstances that shaped Ned Kelly's life and actions. We will explore the harsh realities faced by Irish immigrants in rural Victoria, the widespread poverty, land inequality, and police brutality that fueled resentment and rebellion. We will examine the specific events that led to the formation of the Kelly gang, the escalating conflict with the authorities, and the tragic events at Stringybark Creek and Glenrowan. This account will incorporate extensive primary source material, including Ned Kelly's own letters, offering a glimpse into his thoughts, motivations, and worldview. Furthermore, the analysis will go beyond a purely biographical account; it will explore the social and political climate of the time, providing context for understanding Kelly's actions within a broader framework of social justice and resistance. By examining the perspectives of both the authorities and the oppressed, we aim to paint a detailed picture of a tumultuous era, in which a young man's struggle against injustice became a powerful symbol that resonates to this day.
