Assignment
1. Briefly describe the tensions between "myth" and "history" and thus the tensions between "biography" and "hagiography" inherent in the work of Louis Abelly.
2. Provide examples of how the first half of Vincent's life (for which history only provides the barest outline) was filled in time and time again by Louis Abelly with fictional details (if not outright fabrication) to support his premise that he was writing the biography of someone destined from birth to be a saint.
3. Explain the importance of deconstructing Abelly's mythic, fictional, super-hero Vincent de Paul to allow revisionist history to reconstruct Vincent's biography completely shorn of hagiography to uncover Vincent the person.
