  1. In Australia, in 1915, CJ Dennis published the hugely popular verse-novel, Songs of a Sentimental Bloke. [About a rough larrikin who falls in love and changes his ways.] The third chapter depicts a fight between 'N** Night' and 'Boshter Day', and we are left in no doubt who we are all to be barracking for. It became one of the biggest selling books in Aussie lit. history, even being turned into one of the earliest films.
