Does Grant or any of the critical studies he references take note of
Edmund Wilson? P mention's Wilson's _To The Finland Station: A Study
in the Writing and Acting of History_ in his SL essay. Recent
discussion of Mondaugan did not address the influence of Wilson, and
specifically, Enfantin was never mentioned.

Then, accompanied by twenty of his followers, and a number of
engineers, he went to Egypt with the intent of creating a Suez canal,
pursuing "odd symbolic ideas about the project being a marriage
between East and West". This irritated the Egyptian Viceroy, Muhammad
Ali, who wanted the Saint-Simonians thrown out, but de Lesseps, the
man who would ultimately build the canal, was sympathetic and
intervened on their behalf. Enfantin stayed there two years, and might
have entered Ali's service had he professed himself, as several of his
followers did, a Muslim.

Wilson and Adams and Ellison, not Gaddis. No?
