Brown, Alice: High Noon. v1. 08 Jun 2022
“Miss Brown’s title as applied to her volume of short stories would be somewhat mystifying were it not illuminated by her motto [epigram] “from the Persian” — “One instant only is the sun at noon.” Each of the dozen tales tells of some culminating moment in a woman’s life — a moment so brief and so elusive that the reader, if “a mere man,” will scarcely grasp its significance ere it is gone.” (—New York Times, 16 April, 1904) ============ Alice Brown (December 5, 1856 – June 21, 1948) was an American novelist, short-story writer, poet, and playwright. She was one of the last authors of New England local color, a movement which began with Rose Terry Cooke and Harriet Beecher Stowe and reached its highest popularity during the careers of Mary E. Wilkins Freeman and Sarah Orne Jewett. Her popular New England tales were mostly published from 1895 to 1910. Her popularity waned after the turn of the 20th century, although she continued to publish until 1935. ============ High Noon, by Alice Brown (1856-1948), was first published in 1904.
