Autor

E. J. Rath was a pen name employed by the collaboration of two American writers, Edith Rathbone Jacobs Brainerd (1875-1963) and Chauncey Corey Brainerd (1874–1942). Under this joint pseudonym, they explored the realms of light fiction, focusing predominantly on humorous and whimsical tales, which often resonated with the buoyant spirit of the Roaring Twenties. One of their notable works includes 'Good References' (1919), a novel that embodies their flair for comedy and engaging storytelling. Their literary style exhibited a proclivity for situating relatable characters in situations replete with comedic misunderstanding and romantic entanglement, a pattern that captured the imagination of a post-World War I audience seeking escapism through literature. The engaging narrative voice characteristic of E. J. Rath was well-received at the time and continues to attract readers with its charming recounting of early 20th-century mores. Though their work may not typically be subject to deep literary analysis, it provides a delightful snapshot of the era's social attitudes and the lighter side of America's cultural landscape.
