Jan,

Gerda Scmoekel (with an Umlaut) is not the first German Vernian scholar.
The first PhD dissertation ever written was by Hans Bachmann: Das englische
Sprachgut in den Romanen Jules Verne's. Greifswald, Verlag von Bruncken &
Co. (coll. Romanisches Museum), 116 p., 1916. And earlier than Bachmann, a
German biogarphy came out, just one year after Charles Lemire's biography
in French.It is Max Popp: Julius Verne und sein Werk. Des grossen
Romantikers Leben, Werke und Nachfolger. Wien und Leipzig, A. Hartleben's
Verlag, 224 p., 1909. This biography was reprinted recently and should be
still available.
