E. J. Rath was the literary pseudonym of Edith Rathbone Jacobs Brainerd, an American writer active in the early twentieth century. Throughout her writing career, she worked in close collaboration with her husband, Chauncey Corey Brainerd, who assisted her with numerous writing projects. Chauncey brought a background in journalism to their partnership, serving as a Washington, D.C. correspondent for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.\n\nTogether, the couple produced a body of work under the Rath name that found a broad audience. Their storytelling proved well-suited for adaptation, with several of their narrative works being successfully transitioned into theatrical plays and motion pictures. The collaborative partnership and lives of both Edith and Chauncey came to an end on January 28, 1922.
