Australaise
by C. J. Dennis
'Australaise' Summary
The Austra--laise is a humorous poem that takes a tongue-in-cheek approach to Australian patriotism. It is a playful commentary on the grand pronouncements often associated with national anthems, replacing the typical highfalutin language with slang and everyday expressions. Through a mix of mockery and affection, Dennis celebrates Australia's unique character, its informality, and its sometimes irreverent humor. The poem is a lighthearted look at the complexities of national identity, and it remains a popular and enduring piece of Australian literature.Book Details
