The Charioteer is a war novel by Mary Renault first published in London in 1953. Renault's US publisher (Morrow) refused to publish it until 1959, after a revision of the text, due to its generally positive portrayal of homosexuality. The Charioteer is significant because it features a prominent – and positive – gay theme at an early date and quickly became a bestseller – particularly within the gay community.[1]
