Mary Renault was an English writer, known for fostering societal tolerance towards homosexuality in her works; many of which were set in Ancient Greece, . “…these books might qualify Mary Renault, herself a lesbian, as the first gay novelist, as she wrote not a one-off novel about same-sex love but a body of work that kept it front-and-center as a recurring theme.” (The Gay and Lesbian Review, 2022).
