Whereas feminist literary criticism has broadened the canon of war fiction to include narratives by and about women, queer scholars have seldom focused on literary representations of homosexuality during the war. Natalie Marena Nobitz closes a glaring gap in the critical attention of four novels dealing with the disruption of gender roles and institutionalised heteronormativity: Walter Baxter's Look Down in Mercy (1951), Mary Renault's The Charioteer (1953), Sarah Waters'The Night Watch (2006) and Adam Fitzroy's Make Do and Mend (2012).»Through her readings of these novels, Nobitz deftly explores how the war both policed and anabled outlawed queer desires.«Besprochen in:The Gay & Lesbian Review, 1 (2020), Dale BoylerDHIVA, Sommer 2020, Ulrich BrömmlingQueer studies ;Volume 19.Nobitz, History's Queer StoriesRetrieving and Navigating Homosexuality in British Fiction about the Second World WarBritish War LiteratureQueerHomosexualityMilitarySecond World WarGenderLiteratureBritish StudiesQueer TheoryGender StudiesGender HistoryLiterary StudiesBritish War LiteratureQueerHomosexualityMilitarySecond World WarGenderLiteratureBritish StudiesQueer TheoryGender StudiesGender HistoryLiterary Studies809.93353Nobitz Natalie Marena<p>Natalie Marena Nobitz, Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel, Deutschland</p>aut1854797Knowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2020: Backlist Collectionfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910476920003321History's Queer Stories4452638UNINA
