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). 330 1 $a»Through her readings of these novels, Nobitz deftly explores how the war both policed and anabled outlawed queer desires.« 330 1 $aBesprochen in:The Gay & Lesbian Review, 1 (2020), Dale BoylerDHIVA, Sommer 2020, Ulrich Brömmling 410 0$aQueer studies ;$vVolume 19. 517 2 $aNobitz, History's Queer Stories$eRetrieving and Navigating Homosexuality in British Fiction about the Second World War 606 $aBritish War Literature 606 $aQueer 606 $aHomosexuality 606 $aMilitary 606 $aSecond World War 606 $aGender 606 $aLiterature 606 $aBritish Studies 606 $aQueer Theory 606 $aGender Studies 606 $aGender History 606 $aLiterary Studies 615 4$aBritish War Literature 615 4$aQueer 615 4$aHomosexuality 615 4$aMilitary 615 4$aSecond World War 615 4$aGender 615 4$aLiterature 615 4$aBritish Studies 615 4$aQueer Theory 615 4$aGender Studies 615 4$aGender History 615 4$aLiterary Studies 676 $a809.93353 700 $aNobitz$b Natalie Marena$p
