AUSTRALIAN FOLKLORE THE SENTIMENTAL BLOKE
Since The songs of a sentimental bloke first appeared in print as a series of poems published in the Bulletin in 1909, the work has achieved a unique place in Australian culture. Written by C. J. Dennis, the songs capture the Australian street-slang idiom of the early decades of the twentieth century. The songs were issued in book form in October 191S and saw fifteen editions published by the end of 1917. Widely recited in public, The sentimental bloke became the subject of a silent film in 1918, a stage play in 1922, a sound film in 1932, a musical in 1961, and numerous records, radio and television programs.
Glossary of slang words quoted on the stamps (from the glossary provided in the book, The songs of a sentimental bloke):
