194862944New York: Crown Publishers 1948. First Edition. First printing. Octavo. Cloth hardcover; dustjacket; 561pp. Tight straight and unmarked copy Near Fine. In the original dustwrapper unclipped priced $3.50 on front flap rubbed at margins and slightly sunned on spine; Very Good. <br /> <br /> Haydn's third novel an epic set in the American South during the last spasms of the Twenties and the Crash of 1929. In a glitteringly dismissive review in Commentary Elizabeth Hardwick wrote of The Time Is Noon: ".a weary novel whose earnest mediocrity makes one weak with melancholy.it wants in its optimistic endless fashion to be good honest and profound to say something honorable and significant. But it suffers from much love and little policy for Haydn has very little to say and yet he has written a very long book" "The Progressive Jew as Hero" in Commentary May 1948. Other critics were more welcoming or at least less savage but it is probably no accident that Haydn didn't publish another novel for fifteen years. He instead made his mark in the world of publishing serving as editor for a number of major houses including Crown Random House and Bobbs-Merrill before founding Atheneum in 1959. HANNA 1640.

Full red cloth gilt titles on spine blind device on front board xix 705 pp chapter notes bibliography index. Spine sunned titles faded a few spots corner bumped. From the introduction: "The religionists of the Counter-Renaissance the leaders of the early Reformation turn with an exclusive enthusiasm to faith repudiating reason as the 'devil's harlot.' Its scientists are radical empiricists pursuing the natural truths they can discover through observation and experiment and going to the extreme of almost totally neglecting the role of hypothesis in scientific calculation. In like manner its historical political and ethical writers largely reject the traditional concepts of 'natural law' and innate justice and give new and almost exclusive value to the evidence of 'fact' and pragmatic experience."

193431315Milano: G. Ricordi & C. PNs 28731-54 1934. Folio. Blue cloth-backed patterned paper boards titling gilt to spine. 1f. recto title verso blank 1f. recto table of contents verso blank 5-300 pp. <br /> <br /> From the collection of Italian conductor vocal coach and close associate of Puccini and Mascagni Luigi Ricci 1893-1981.<br /> <br /> Binding slightly rubbed and bumped. Slightly worn; light uniform browning; very occasional markings in lead and red pencil; pp. 17/18 with small tear to blank lower margin. First Italian edition 1856 later issue based on publisher's blindstamp. <br /> <br /> This second collaboration between Haydn and librettist Gottfried von Swieten was based on the poem by James Thomson 1700-1748 published in 1730. The work was first performed on April 24 1801 in a private première at the Schwarzenberg Palace in Vienna; its first public production took place on May 19 1801. <br /> <br /> "Although the initial reception of The Seasons was favourable - Haydn wrote to Clementi that it had enjoyed 'unanimous approval' and that 'many prefer it to The Creation because of its greater variety' - critical opinion soon became mixed owing in part to its perceived 'lower' subject in part to a growing aesthetic resistance to its many pictorialisms. Haydn himself contributed to both strands of criticism: he supposedly said to Francis II 'In The Creation angels speak and tell of God but in The Seasons only Simon speaks' Dies; and he indiscreetly criticized Swieten's croaking frogs 'Frenchified trash' and the absurdity of a choral hymn to toil Fleiss. Nonetheless he maintained that it would join The Creation in assuring his lasting fame. For the publication he took the path of lesser resistance selling the rights to Breitkopf & Härtel."
