About this episode
Is the spectral presence in Bryden's home the ghost of his alter ego, or is he just seeing what he wants to see? Henry James, today on The Classic Tales Podcast. Welcome to The Classic Tales Podcast. Thank you for listening. If you'd like to hear more Classic Tales, then buckle up. Starting this week, for every one episode of new content, we will be releasing two Vintage Episodes of The Classic Tales Podcast. You may have noticed that there are only 250+ episodes available through the podcast, but the episode numbers are 850+. That means there are around 600 episodes currently not on the feed. Well, we're going to change that. Not only will we continue to create new content every Friday, but on Mondays and Wednesdays we be releasing Vintage Episodes of The Classic Tales Podcast. We're going to start at the very beginning, with the very first episode, and release two Vintage Episodes every week. If we release two Vintage Episodes for every new episode, we'll be caught up in around five and a half years. So if you want more, you got it. But this is a trial program. We're going to try this for a while, and if you like it, please become a supporter, or tell your friends, or drop us a line and let us know. We'll see how it goes. As for me, I'm excited to revisit some of my old friends, and I'd like to hear from you. Keep an eye on your podcast feed, and you'll see two new episodes in addition to our regular show on Friday. If you like it, head on over to http://classictalesaudiobooks.com and let us know one way or another. And thanks for your support! Today's story is incredibly autobiographical, and is considered one of Henry James' best ghost stories. He wrote it six years before his death, and thirty-three years after he settled in Europe after leaving America. It's the story of a wealthy young man who leaves America in his youth, follows a life of dissipation for 33 years in Europe, and returns to his ancestral home in New York. He is struck by the changes he sees, of course. But upon realizing he has a certain knack for real estate development, he is haunted by his alter ego – the man he could have been. And now, The Jolly Corner, Part 1 of 2, by Henry James.
