Entertaining Made Easy

About the author
Emily Rose Burt was an American author whose surviving published work points to a clear specialty: everyday social life. She is best known for Entertaining Made Easy (1919), a guide that turns formal hosting, party customs, and home entertaining into something friendly and manageable for ordinary readers.
She also wrote Speaker and Recitations: For All Occasions, suggesting a broader interest in the social side of public occasions—how people celebrated, performed, and addressed one another in community life. Taken together, her books reflect a practical, helpful voice rather than a literary one, with an emphasis on usefulness and confidence.
Reliable biographical details about her life are limited in the sources I could confirm here, so it is safest to remember her through her work: concise, serviceable books that preserve the tone and manners of early 20th-century American domestic and social culture.
