Ghosts of Ned Kelly: Peter Carey’S True History and the Myths That Haunt Us
Ghosts of Ned Kelly: Peter Carey’s True History and the myths that haunt us Marija Pericic Master of Arts School of Communication and Cultural Studies Faculty of Arts The University of Melbourne November 2011 Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Arts (by Thesis Only). Abstract Ned Kelly has been an emblem of Australian national identity for over 130 years. This thesis examines Peter Carey’s reimagination of the Kelly myth in True History of the Kelly Gang (2000). It considers our continued investment in Ned Kelly and what our interpretations of him reveal about Australian identity. The paper explores how Carey’s departure from the traditional Kelly reveals the underlying anxieties about Australianness and masculinity that existed at the time of the novel’s publication, a time during which Australia was reassessing its colonial history. The first chapter of the paper examines True History’s complication of cultural memory. It argues that by problematising Kelly’s Irish cultural memory, our own cultural memory of Kelly is similarly challenged. The second chapter examines Carey’s construction of Kelly’s Irishness more deeply. It argues that Carey’s Kelly is not the emblem of politicised Irishness based on resistance to imperial Britain common to Kelly narratives. Instead, he is less politically aware and also claims a transnational identity. The third chapter explores how Carey’s Kelly diverges from key aspects of the Australian heroic ideal he is used to represent: hetero-masculinity, mateship and heroic failure. Carey’s most striking divergence comes from his unsettling of gender and sexual codes. -
The Surgeon and the Fashion Icon: in Search of Florence Cooper and Reta Findlay
24 ANNETTE COOPER The surgeon and the fashion icon: in search of Florence Cooper and Reta Findlay Women of outstanding gifts At her retirement as honorary surgeon from Melbourne’s Queen Victoria Memorial Hospital in 1951, Florence Cooper spoke of her early struggle for recognition as a doctor and said that all medical women owed a debt of gratitude to the hospital’s committee for the opportunities it had given them. ‘They have done much … to break down the feeling of prejudice towards women in what were once regarded as men’s professions.’1 Two blocks further south, in the prestigious ‘Paris End’ of Collins Street, Reta Findlay was at the height of her creative powers in one of Melbourne’s most elegant department stores: Georges. She had been working there since the 1930s, becoming Australia’s first female advertising manager in 1937, and had moulded the store into what we remember as Georges today – elegant and exclusive. Both women were gifted practitioners in their fields. Both were admired for their business acumen. Both were committed to furthering the cause of women, in both politics and their profession. Both worked tirelessly to support the war effort in World War II and charitable causes. And both have captured my imagination, based on personal connections and research. The first, Florence Cooper, is my late great-aunt. I was almost five years old when she died, and although it’s possible I met her, I don’t have any recollection. But, over the years, I heard stories about her brilliance The surgeon and the fashion icon 25 and achievement in medicine through my late aunt. -
Ned Kelly's Last Words: “Ah, Well, I Suppose”
Ned Kelly’s Last Words: “Ah, Well, I Suppose” Dr. Stuart E. Dawson ∗ (Monash University) Abstract: It has long been widely, even admiringly, held that Ned Kelly’s last words before execution were “Such is life”. This is a key part of a prevalent Kelly mythology that has been subject to little serious critique. Yet the attribution of the phrase ‘Such is life’ to Kelly is pure fiction. Analysis of the reportage of the day reveals Kelly’s actual last words, and explains how they were transmuted by one journalist into the catchy expression quoted as fact by many historians. It shows that the image of Kelly standing tall and defiant, saying ‘Such is life’ as the rope was placed around his neck, is nothing but a highly romanticised myth. In fact, Kelly came to an ignominious, mumbling end on the scaffold, a far cry from popular legend. Keywords: Ned Kelly, Edward Kelly, Kelly Gang, Ned Kelly facts, Ned Kelly bushranger, Ned Kelly museum, Old Melbourne Gaol, famous last words. It has long been widely, even admiringly, held that Ned Kelly’s last words before execution were “Such is life”. 1 To television producer, Paul Terry, “the fatalistic and courageous ‘Such is life’ has become synonymous with Ned and everything he stood for”. 2 The claim has been relayed in Australian history texts and is commonly taught as fact to school children. 3 In Peter Carey’s Booker Prize-winning novel True History of the ∗ I wish to thank Sharon Hollingsworth for her valuable input and detailed discussion throughout the writing of this article, and Caroline Oxley of the Victoria Police Museum for copies of several historic documents. -
