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.)
Well, all good things must come to an end, and thus it's time to move on from monster!Maxime to another monstrous construction... (Maxime will remain important though, especially in later parts of the article, never fear.)
