Paperback. Condition: Very Good+. Reprint. With illustrations, bottom corner of rear cover has a crease, a very good copy. âIn the whole of Australiaâs history, the bizarre life and exploits of Edward âNedâ Kelly and his small gang are probably the most often referred to, the most emotive and the least well documented. Stories of Ned, Dan, Joe Byrne and Steve Hart abound. Kelly the folk-hero, the myth, the legend, is perpetuated in songs, paintings and in a welter of conflicting opinions. Who, in the midst of all this confusion, was the real Ned Kelly? This new edition of Ned Kelly Man and Myth commemorates the centenary of Kellyâs hanging and is a revealing study of the man and his times. The views of leading academics and other historians have been brought together in an effort to uncover the truth about a âshifty, dangerous and emotion-raising episode of Australian historyâ. An attempt has been made to remove the layers of myth and legend, lies and innuendoes, half-remembered truths and remembered half-truths â" all of which have helped to obscure the Kelly story. â; 210 x 135mm; vi, 218 pages.…
