Abstract:"Francis Mulhern probes the mercurial relationship between culture and politics through versatile critical writing on Conrad, Orwell, Sartre, Raymond Williams and Roberto Schwarz, among others. Asserting that there is no position for critics situated above the fray of political life, Mulhern examines questions of nationality, from F. R.
