Hooray! I really enjoyed reading the new article-- you can tell that a lot of research went into it!
Similarly, Country Life commented that ‘it is the love which grows between these two young men, the sacrifices and suffering to which it brings them, which give the book its fine quality... the romance of heroic fighting and loving—the love of David and Jonathan—lifts it far above the ordinary Well, this reviewer definitely sounds like a shipper xD
As a cool bit of fandom overlap, Gordon Jackson, who played Ewen in the first radio adaptation, later went on to play Hudson the Scottish butler in Upstairs Downstairs, one of my fandoms! An impressive range for an actor, since the two aren't at all alike (although Hudson is canonically a Jacobite...) :P
