Also, usually in French, Saint-Just is called an "archange" (in English, they more commonly just say "angel of death" or that sort of nonsense), but originally, although I don't know who started it, it's usually "archange de la Révolution", or "archange de la Terreur" for those who don't like him much or are just awed by woah!evil!Saint-Just... There's also Gueniffey who tried to be original with an "ange exterminateur" *eyerolls*
The part with the shirtless Saint-Just somehow reminds me the misquoted story brought up by Hector Fleishmann, from Georges Duval, in which Fleishmann misinterprets that Duval would have seen Saint-Just in a dressing gown at Robespierre's bedroom, but it was actually in Saint-Just's apartment.
And, wow, another characterisation of evil and manipulative Saint-Just -- who's probably sleeping with Robespierre. *headdesk* And that was published in 2008? (?) Progresssssssssss. -_-
