Greetings all:

I've been on this list for about three years now, mostly quietly, and have
learned a lot about one of my favorite authors. I'm taking some graduate
classes in English literature in my "spare" time for the fun of it, as a
university employee I can take one to two classes for free every quarter.
We're working on textual controversies: two or more variants of a text,
disagreement about the wording of a passage, controversies about
authorship, etc. Matters which this list has discussed at times.

Can anyone point me to good scholarship sources I can look at regarding
textual controversies involving Jules Verne's works? I'm especially
interested in authorship issues: which books are their concerns about Jules
Verne not writing the entire work, that some editor or relative later on
changed the text before publication; otherwise I'm interested in any
sources that can give me information about Jules Verne texts which have
errors in them: are they printer errors or Jules' errors, for instance.

Regards,
David Merchant
