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 $aBesprochen in: The Gay & Lesbian Review, 1 (2020), Dale Boyler DHIVA, Sommer 2020, Ulrich Bro?mmling 410 0$aQueer studies ;$vVolume 19. 606 $aHomosexuality in literature 610 $aBritish Studies. 610 $aGender History. 610 $aGender Studies. 610 $aGender. 610 $aHomosexuality. 610 $aLiterary Studies. 610 $aLiterature. 610 $aMilitary. 610 $aQueer Theory. 610 $aQueer. 610 $aSecond World War. 615 0$aHomosexuality in literature. 676 $a809.93353 700 $aNobitz$b Natalie Marena$f1989-$01222530 712 02$aKnowledge Unlatched - KU Select 2020: Backlist Collection$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996398648603316 996 $aHistory's queer stories$92835457 997 $aUNISA
