Dear David: My Annotated Jules Verne: 20,000 Leagues is intensive textual analysis in the notes and other critical commentaries; with Frederick Paul Walter I have done a similar job on the family problem etc., with The Meteor Hunt, to be published soon by U of Nebraska Press.  Cheers!  Walter James Miller----- Original Message -----
