Boston Found Meet Boston Founded four centuries ago, Boston has simply never settled. Conversations here determine the future, so let’s discover what’s next! Join us as we seek out the real Boston, past and present, through stories and perspectives that capture a city always in motion. Hosted by Martha Sheridan, CEO of Meet Boston, this is the Boston Found podcast.https://www.meetboston.com/podcast/ Hazard of New Fortunes by William Dean Howells Loyal Books Howell’s novel is set in New York of the late nineteenth century, a city familiar to readers of Edith Wharton and Henry James. Basil March, a businessman from Boston of a literary bent, moves with his family to New York to edit a new journal founded by an acquaintance. Its financial support, however, comes from a Mr. Dryfoos, a Pennsylvania Dutch farmer suddenly become millionaire by the discovery of natural gas on his property, and now living in New York with his family in a style he hopes will befit his new wealth.Is it his new fortune that presents a hazard? Or is it the new wealth of New York City in the Gilded Age? Both March and his literary creator are increasingly aware of some of the social and economic contradictions that beset the city of the time (though some of Howell’s analysis sounds as if it well might fit New York today). Characters such as, among others, Dryfoos’s children, a German socialist immigrant who fought for the Union cause, an impoverished Southern colonel Calling All Explorers Jessie Pitsillides Calling All Explorers is a podcast from the Harvard iLabs in Boston, MA.
