Victorian-era author (1810–1865) whose works detailed the lives of people in all classes of society, best known for her novel North and South. Two items in the hand of English writer Elizabeth Gaskell: an ink signature, “E. C. Gaskell,” on an off-white 2.25 x .5 slip mounted to an 8.25 x 4.25 backing sheet, which bears an affixed manuscript draft section from Chapter 29, ‘Wedding Raiment,’ of her 1863 novel Sylvia's Lovers, handwritten in ink by Gaskell on a light blue 8 x 2.5 sheet, which reads, in part: “There’s mebbe but one chance i’ a hundred,’ said Sylvia, pleading as it were for Kester, – ‘but – Oh! Philip, think ye there's just that one chance?” In overall fine condition.
