The Seventh Noon (ePub)

Frederick Orin Bartlett, whose contributions to American literature have largely been overshadowed by his contemporaries, left an indelible mark through his novel 'The Seventh Noon.' Revealing a literary style preoccupied with the profuse details of daily life and the intricate workings of the human psyche, Bartlett's work echoes the depth of character exploration characteristic of the early twentieth-century novel. Although 'The Seventh Noon' stands as a testament to Bartlett's storytelling prowess, the scarcity of biographical information limits the ability to fully appreciate the breadth of his career. His narrative technique reflects a keen observational gift, drawing readers into a vividly painted world where the lure of escapism contends with the pressing nature of reality. There is a paucity of academic inquiry into Bartlett's oeuvre, and his place in the literary canon remains largely unexamined. This obscure corner of literary history invites further scholarly investigation into Bartlett's work and the specific cultural and historical contexts that shaped his writings. As it stands, 'The Seventh Noon' waits to be rediscovered and repositioned within the wider discussion of literature from its era, potentially offering insights into the lesser-documented narratives of American literary artistry.
