She did such amazing things with colors! Have you seen Evelyn de Morgan's work? She was one of the Brickdale's contemporaries, also well worth checking out. There's a great book, "Pre-Raphaelite Women Artists" by Jan Marsh, which I heartily recommend.

"More pious, freak-free Dickens" - this is an excellent summation of my experience with Trollope this far. I'm guessing that an enthusiastic interest in the Church of England would help, as you note. Have you read Fanny Trollope (his mother), best known these days for "Domestic Manners of the Americans"? It's an interesting nonfiction travelogue, filled with snarkiness about life on the American frontier. Apparently Trollope disowned her in his autobiography (which may have been revenge for being left behind in England when she took the family overseas). Yay for Victorian dysfunction.
