    Extractions: Source Navigator, 12/1997 Reviewed by Roger Donway Among the most enchanting works in all philosophy, surely, are the early dialogues of Plato, and it is the world of those dialogues that Mary Renault brings to life in The Last of the Wine (Random House, 1956). The time is the late fifth century B.C.; the place is Athens; and the narrator, Alexias, finds himself increasingly drawn to the circle of youths around Socrates. Yet even as Alexias is pulled into the Socratic circle, he is pulled still more powerfully into a love affair with Lysis, a older youth who also follows Socrates. From that beginning, Renault's novel spreads outward to encompass all of Athenian life. As athletes, scholars, and warriors-as well as young men of good family-Alexias and Lysis participate in the myriad affairs of their city, during the protracted conflict of the Peloponnesian War.

    Extractions: Mary Renault, The Persian Boy (Vintage, 1988) This trilogy is an outstanding work of historical fiction, chronicling the life of Alexander the Great. I read it two years ago and I still feel the power of Renault's recreation. I stand amazed on the battlefield of Gaugamela while the mighty Darius, king of Persia, flees ignominiously from an army he outnumbers almost 5 to 1. I still feel the stifling Babylonian night wrapping around me like a scratchy wool blanket as Alexander lies shivering with cold. He is ill. No, he's poisoned. No, he's cursed! Alexander the Great lived in the mid-300s BC in Macedon, a small country north of Greece. His father, Philip of Macedon, ruled there and was a skilled military strategist in his own right. But the world had never seen anything like the man Alexander grew into: he was a military genius, daring and imaginative. He conquered most of the then-known world, and some sources report that he cried when there was no more to conquer. He tried to unite the lands of Greece and Persia, and died at age 33. Let me make it clear from the start that Renault's Alexander is an idealized figure, bearing little resemblance to the ruthless megalomaniac usually portrayed in history books. Her Alexander is actually quite gentle, as well as being loving and tolerant. All the authorities I have read grant that he was a military genius, but they also emphasize that he was ambitious, merciless, vain, and possibly a reckless drunk on occasion. Mary Renault is the only writer I've ever read who treats him with such benign affection.

    Extractions: While London burned each created a mythical world out of whole cloth which still provides entertainment, escape, and possibly even hope. Tolkien’s Hobbit books and Lewis’s Narnia books have already outlasted the troubled and troublesome "thousand-year Reich" which brought death and destruction to so much of the world. A third, lesser-known British writer who came of age as the bombs fell on England was so busy as a nurse during the war that her own escapist literary monument had to wait until the fighting was over. Though she had already published several mainstream novels before the war, Mary Renault until some 21st century Steve Jobs comes up with a real one and some 21st century Bill Gates "appropriates" it for the mass market. Scholars harp on and nit-pick about various details of ancient Greece which they claim Renault got wrong. No matter, because what she got right, absolutely convincingly right, was an entire vanished world. Turn off the TV, pick up

    Extractions: 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."

80. 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.umsystem.edu/upress/spring2001/zilboorg.htm
    
    Extractions: 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.
