About the author
Emily Post (1873–1960) was an American author best known for her writing on etiquette. Two of her works are held in this collection: Etiquette and The Title Market. Public information about her is limited, and details of her life fall outside the scope of this introduction. Her works address everyday life and social situations, explaining proper conduct through concrete examples. Etiquette deals with manners and social behavior in clear, practical language suited to ordinary readers. Such writing brought etiquette out of private circles and made it a public resource for ordinary households, leaving a lasting influence on the spread of American social customs in the twentieth century. The Title Market shows that she also wrote fiction. Her writing is marked by clear rules and specific examples, and remains a useful reference for understanding the social norms of her time.
