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.
