Academic Scholarship on Jules Verne

Arthur B. Evans

Here is a collection of articles and book reviews, written by Arthur B. Evans, a Verne scholar and a French Professor at DePauw University. Most of them appeared in the journal Science Fiction Studies, edited by Arthur B. Evans (Managing Editor), Istvan Csicsery-Ronay Jr., Veronica Hollinger, Rob Latham, and Carol McGuirk. The Spring 1988 article appeared in the journal L’Esprit Créateur, edited by John D. Erickson. The Spring 1989 article appeared in the journal Studies in the Literary Imagination, edited by Virgina Spencer Carr (General Editor), R. Barton Palmer and Matthew C. Roudané. The April 1997 review appeared in the journal SFRA Review, published by the Science Fiction Research Association.

I thank author, the editors, and the publishers mentioned above, for granting me the permission to post the texts in this collection. I join Professor Evans in hoping that other scholars can persuade their publishers to allow them to do the same.

The original publication information appears at the top of each text. In the case of the articles, horizontal rules are used in place of the original page-breaks, so that readers will be able to quote from them if they so wish.
