On Victoria someone asked for texts which explicate attitudes towards beauty in the 19th century. Griselda who makes people ooh and aah when she comes into a room.
Names mean something in Trollope.
Dumbello's name needs no explication, but another curious interest to Griselda is she appears to be the absolutely submissive woman. She is poison because she's ruthless and relentess in her quiet Griselda way. How does Trollope physically picture his favored heroines, the ones he likes. She has very thin wrists. The picture of her by Millais show us a woman who has a thin angular chest.
