Bisset, of course, claimed that he never remarried because he didn't get over his dead wife (and dead baby who died with her), and at the time I had no reason to doubt it.
IDK, what you've told us about his dead wife and baby were sort of horrifying enough that I can see that putting one off het sex for life, especially if one happens to be bisexual and, well, have Algarotti as an option... though I suppose that's not quite the same as "didn't get over his dead wife," which, uh, clearly it sounds like he did :P
...and I feel even more entitled of having included your Algarotti/Heinrich speculation in My Brother Narcissus. Clearly, Algarotti absolutely would have if he could have.
