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).Besprochen in: The Gay & Lesbian Review, 1 (2020), Dale Boyler DHIVA, Sommer 2020, Ulrich BrömmlingQueer studies ;Volume 19.Homosexuality in literatureBritish Studies.Gender History.Gender Studies.Gender.Homosexuality.Literary Studies.Literature.Military.Queer Theory.Queer.Second World War.Homosexuality in literature.809.93353Nobitz Natalie Marena1989-1222530Knowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2020: Backlist Collectionfndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996398648603316History's queer stories2835457UNISA
