The bias of historians is a very interesting thing to study: it's almost as interesting as the history of events itself. And, yes, Hampson's ludicrous comparisons to Saint-Just's "satanic being" is very amusing -- I'm still trying to figure out what is the scientifical point in comparing Saint-Just to Lucifer in his conclusion.
Oh, yes. I've read through those articles. They're not too bad, even if I dislike Mantel.
