For an excellent discussion of the meaning of the term "manly" and all its cognates, see books include in bibliography by Tosh, particularly 33-34, 44, 73, 87-90, Nardin, 165. P. D. Edwards remarks that Trollope's characters very rarely crack in front of us; I put this down to his valuing of manliness as safety and peace. See his introduction to An Autobiography, xii-xiv, and his Anthony Trollope: His Art and Scope, 1-8. Nardin is accurate when she identifies Will Belton, the farmer hero of The Belton Estate as one of Trollope's most exemplary cynoscures of manliness among his many manly heterosexual male characters. On Jonathan Stubbs of Ayala's Angel, see below.
