Danny Yee's Book Reviews Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest The Alexander Trilogy Fire From Heaven The Persian Boy Funeral Games Mary Renault Penguin 1970, Book Club Associates 1973, Penguin 1982 A book review by Danny Yee Mary Renault's trilogy of novels about Alexander the Great ( Fire From Heaven The Persian Boy and Funeral Games ) is one of my favourite works of historical fiction. With a grand theme as her topic, one where the historical evidence is enough to inspire the imagination but not so voluminous as to inhibit creativity, Renault tells a compelling and moving story. Her reconstruction of history is plausible and learned, but she never lets her sources trap her - her world goes beyond the fragmentary records in its coherence and depth. And her characters are vivid and plausible, never modern people in costumes speaking strange languages. Fire From Heaven is based on Alexander's life up to the age of twenty, when he assumed the kingship on his father Phillip's assassination. Trying to imagine the childhood of someone who was to develop into such an extraordinary person is not an easy task, but Renault does it brilliantly, weaving the thread of known anecdotes together with the skein of her own imagination. Alexander's mother's tumultuous relationship with his father, his training in philosophy under Aristotle, the development of his relationship with Hephaistion and his other companions, killing his first man at twelve, his meeting with Demosthenes - she has done such a good job that I have trouble remembering what is real and what is her invention.

Danny Yee's Book Reviews Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest The Charioteer Mary Renault Longmans 1953 A book review by Danny Yee Mary Renault is best known for her Greek historical novels - works such as Fire From Heaven The Last of the Wine and The King Must Die The Charioteer is conclusive evidence of what was already obvious: Renault is a great novelist, not "just" one of the outstanding historical novelists of all time. Set in England during World War Two, in the dark days after the retreat from Dunkirk, The Charioteer is a novel about love. A "novel about love" rather than a romance, because, although it is set in and around hospitals (drawing on Renault's own wartime experience), it is certainly not your typical hospital romance. Though it is very obviously a post-war English novel, The Charioteer has a certain timeless feel to it; the use of explicit links to Plato's Phaedrus , which would have seemed contrived in weaker hands, doesn't seem at all inappropriate. Those who appreciate Renault as a novelist, not just for her historical settings, should definitely not pass this one by. 24 January 1995 Related reviews: Mary Renault fiction romance %T The Charioteer %A Renault, Mary

28. OutSpoken - Mary Renault : Who Was Mary Mary Renault? OutUK - The UK Gay Mens Gu mary renault Who Was mary mary renault? For that you'll need to read lesbianauthor mary renault's historical novels which have become gay classics. http://www.outuk.com/content/features/alexander/

One of the great historical homos was Ancient Greece's all-conquering hero Alexander The Great whose success on the battlefield is the stuff of legend. Following the success of films like Gladiator and Braveheart, there's a race in Hollywood to get the first of a new generation of Alexander epics onto the big screen. Oliver Stone's Alexander starring Colin Farrell is rumoured to have begun pre-production in India, whilst Moulin Rouge's Baz Luhrmann is teaming up with Leonard DiCaprio who was to star in a Martin Scorcese directed version of the story. How far either of these films, if they reach the screen, will airbrush out Alexander's homosexuality is not known. For that you'll need to read lesbian author Mary Renault's historical novels which have become gay classics. But who was Mary Renault whose books caused a sensation in the 1950's? Paula Martinac has been delving into gay literary history for OutUK. Reflecting on the choice of male subjects for most of her novels, Mary Renault once said simply, "Men have more fun." Mary Renault : "Men have more fun" Interestingly, the author remembered today for creating some of the earliest, most positive depictions of gay male love in fiction was a lesbian who started her career writing novels with lesbian undertones.

39. The Masks Of Mary Renault: A Literary Biography The Masks of mary renault. A Literary Biography. Caroline Zilboorg.Born Eileen mary Challans in London in 1905, mary renault wrote http://www.system.missouri.edu/upress/spring2001/zilboorg.htm

The Masks of Mary Renault A Literary Biography Caroline Zilboorg Born Eileen Mary Challans in London in 1905, Mary Renault wrote six successful contemporary novels before turning to the historical fiction about ancient Greece for which she is best known. While Renault's novels are still highly regarded, her life and work have never been completely examined. Caroline Zilboorg seeks to remedy this in The Masks of Mary Renault by exploring Renault's identity as a gifted writer and a sexual woman in a society in which neither of these identities was clear or easy. Although Renault's life was anything but ordinary, this fact has often been obscured by her writing. The daughter of a doctor, she grew up comfortably and attended a boarding school in Bristol. She received a degree in English from St. Hugh's College in Oxford in 1928, but she chose not to pursue an academic career. Instead, she decided to attend the Radcliffe Infirmary in Oxford, where she trained to be a nurse. With the outbreak of the Second World War, she was assigned to the Winford Emergency Hospital in Bristol and briefly worked with Dunkirk evacuees. She went on to work in the Radcliffe Infirmary's brain surgery ward and was there until 1945. It was during her nurse's training that Renault met Julie Mullard, who became her lifelong companion. This important lesbian relationship both resolved and posed many problems for Renault, not the least of which was how she was to write about issues at once intensely personal and socially challenging. In 1939, Renault published her first novel under a pseudonym in order to mask her identity. It was a time when she was struggling not only with her vocation (nursing and writing), but also with her sexual identity in the social and moral context of English life during the war.
