George Eliot - The Spanish Gypsy

London, William Blackwood and Sons, 1868. First edition. Leather. A beautiful first edition copy of George Eliot's poem The Spanish Gypsy. Better known by her pen name George Eliot, Mary Anne (Mary Ann, Marian) Evans (November 1819 – December 1880) was an English novelist, journalist and translator, and one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. In The Spanish Gypsy , Eliot made a brave foray into verse. This ambitious project exhausted her, and her partner George Henry Lewes took the manuscript away from her for fear it was making her ill. Finally published in 1868 to mixed reviews, the poem not only has intrinsic merit but looks forward to Eliot"s interests and concerns in her later work, especially Daniel Deronda. (Antonie Gerard van den Broek) In a half morocco binding with marbled boards. Externally, in lovely condition. Internally, firmly bound, bright and generally clean with only the odd spot and some occasional tidemarks to the margin. Very Good Indeed . Ill.: None. Very Good Indeed .
