Citoyenne la traductrice jacobine

This next part of "The Legacy of History" gets more into the psychoanalytic side of things, which I tend to accept a lot less readily. But it's interesting, nonetheless, even if I do think the first parts of the chapter stand on firmer foundations. (Though I might add that this is mostly due to my distrust of historians' undertaking the psychoanalysis of a historical figure, much less an entire historical movement or generation of people. It just feels too much like speculation and reading things into a series of historical events that just aren't there, or that it would really be a stretch to believe about them... Anyway, Huet doesn't take what these Freudian "historians" have to say uncritically, so I'm probably overreacting. As usual.)

Also, random fact that has nothing to do with this essay at all: I found out a few new things about Babet. I knew she had married Philippe Le Bas's brother a few years after Thermidor, but I didn't know much else about that. Now I know that it was his younger brother, Charles-Louis-Joseph (called Charles) Le Bas, that they were married on 20 Nivôse Year VII (19 January 1799), had two children (Caroline, with whom Babet was living at the time of her death, and Charles), and that he died in 1829 (meaning she survived him by twenty-seven years). 
...I figure that Babet's marriage with Charles Le Bas, while not necessarily particularly useful to know about (though you never know), is interesting at least.
