Academic Scholarship on Jules Verne
More Scholarship from Science-Fiction Studies
Here is a another collection of articles, book reviews, and notes, written by various authors, which have appeared over the years in the journal Science-Fiction Studies, edited by Arthur B. Evans (Managing Editor), Istvan Csicsery-Ronay Jr., Veronica Hollinger, Rob Latham, and Carol McGuirk.
I thank Professor Evans, a Verne scholar and the publisher of the essays, for granting me the permission to post the texts in this collection. I join him in hoping that other scholars can persuade their publishers to allow them to do the same.
Marc Angenot is currently a professor of French literature at McGill University . Mark Rose is a professor of English at University of California, Santa Barbara.
