Synopsis
Although critics continue to debate whether Jules Verne's work is true science fiction (SF), rather than scientific romance, Verne is widely credited as one of the founders of the genre and in the popular imagination, he and SF are seen as largely synonomous. Verne has received renewed attention since the publication in 1994 of his Paris au Vingtieme Siecle, and this has highlighted his importance as a key commentator on the anguishes of modernity.
