Set against the backdrop of 19th-century Australia, this work features Dick Marston, a bushranger character considered quintessentially Australian. Rolf Boldrewood, the pseudonym of Thomas Alexander Browne, draws from his own experiences in mining life, particularly in novels like Miner's Right and In Bad Company. His narratives reflect conservative values, emphasizing good breeding, education, and individual initiative. Boldrewood's literary career flourished after the success of Robbery Under Arms, establishing him as a significant figure in both English and American literature.
