I am happy to supply classical allusions if you'd find it useful. I have done it professionally.
Oh, cool. Thanks for the offer!
Yes, I like Sylvia Townsend Warner, too (in fact for Yuletide this year I wrote a crossover between a Mitchison book and a Townsend Warner book). But I've never read Jill Paton Walsh, so thanks for the rec! I do agree that slashiness or otherwise is id, not politics, though politics can of course influence what one writes about otherwise.
Mitchison was a lot more interested in women, as characters and historically, than Sutcliff or Renault or, so far for me, Broster.
Yes, definitely! Broster has some books with stronger female characters than the ones you've read, but overall she's a lot more interested in men.
