years her ambitious nature and
strong imagination was smothered
with the details of rural life. Yet,
all this time she was studying types
and memorizing impressions, later
to be mirrored in her novels. "The

Her Grief
George Lewes died at the priory
toward the end of 1878 and George
Eliot was prostrated by the blow.
Her grief found expression in de-
voting herself to the arrangement
Of Lewes's unfinished work and in
the establishing of a George Henry
Lewes scholarship in physiological
research. By degrees she revived.
In 1880 she married John Walse7
Cross, a banker Of New York, for
some time member Of the Lewes
circle and with whom her friendship
began when she helped him in his
studies Of Dante. She died the fol-
