PhD Thesis on Ned Kelly and the Movies

Greg Young alerted me to this item.

There is a 288 page PhD thesis by Stephen Gaunson called Ned Kelly & the Movies 1906-2003: Representation, Social Banditry & History available online.
It is in PDF form (it took me almost an hour and a half to download it on dialup!). It was well worth it, though!
There are also quite a few interesting scene captures, photos and illustrations related to the Kelly saga included.

You can find it at:

    Thank you Sharon, have printed the thesis and had a quick look through, makes for interesting reading! Spotted one mistake - the author refers to Jean Bedford's 'Sister Kate' book mistakenly as 'The Girl Who Helped Ned Kelly' (p. 142). He also says Kate fell off her horse and drowned (had not heard about a horse being involved before) and seems to confuse Kate and Maggie somewhat.
