	Extract from The Undispensable Julian Rathbone
		Rathbone’s brilliance, however, lies as much in the incidental detail, which sets up a sober and convincing satire about the workings of a totalitarian state, and about the relationship of its citizens to Franco’s all-pervasive presence.
		Rathbones were always anti-slavers and in the 1780s refused to build for owners who were slave traders, and even refused to supply their builders with timber.
		Eleanor Rathbone sat as an independent MP for Combined English Universities from 1929 until her death in 1946.
