Doreen (1917), the third C.J. Dennis’ publication, extends on The Songs of the Sentimental Bloke narrative. Utilising the same idiomatic expression to depict ‘the Bloke’ and his ‘little wife’, these four tales in verse depicts the conflict that arises within the marriage unit, but ultimately emphasises their domestic bliss.
