About the Book

Over the course of three decades—from the early 1870s to the turn of the 20th century—Jules Verne wrote three novels covering more than half a century of Canadian history. While this triptych is undoubtedly located within the Vernian corpus, it nevertheless constitutes a body of work in its own right, a powerful testimony to the place that Canada and Quebec occupied in France. This place was relative, however, dependent on interactions with England and the United States. Several of Verne’s works beginning with the publication of The Adventures of Captain Hatteras in the mid-1860s compare English and American characters. Ultimately, the rivalry that emerges between the two countries is further developed in the Canadian novels The Fur Country (1872–1873) and Family Without a Name (1889). The Anglo-American conflict explains the affinities between French Canadians and Americans present in both novels. Toward the end of his life, however, Verne revisits this alliance. In The Golden Volcano, written in 1899–1900, those relations change diametrically: French and English Canadians, all honest people in search of Klondike gold, unite against the Texans, notorious and feared delinquents. How is this reversal to be understood? What clues does it offer for understanding of the depictions of Canada and Quebec that prevail henceforth in France on a broader scale? Published in French.

About the Author :
Gérard Fabre est chercheur au Centre d’étude des mouvements sociaux de l’Institut Marcel Mauss, EHESS/ CNRS. Il s’intéresse aux réseaux intellectuels entre le Québec et la France (universitaires, écrivains, revues et institutions) ainsi qu’aux imaginaires nordiques dans la littérature française.

Review :
Peu de gens, à commencer par nous-mêmes à la rédaction, connaissaient l’intérêt que portait le grand écrivain futuriste à notre cher pays. (...) [Gérard Fabre], chercheur au CNRS nous montre à quelles sources le romancier s’abreuvait pour rendre compte au plus près de la situation sociopolitique au Canada et quels étaient l’évolution des rapports au fil du temps entre les canadiens-français, les anglais et les américains. Chapeau à l’essayiste qui lève le voile sur un aspect trop méconnu de la vie de Verne. « Dans cet ouvrage dense, bien documenté, solidement raisonné, Fabre offre une lecture stimulante de trois romans relativement peu connus de Jules Verne. Les conclusions qu’il en tire intéresseront, au-delà des fans encore de nos jours nombreux de l’auteur des « Voyages extraordinaires », les étudiants de l’histoire et du développement du roman populaire et d’aventures au dix-neuvième siècle, ainsi que, bien sûr, les lecteurs qui se passionnent au sujet du développement de la représentation du Canada français dans la culture hexagonale de l’époque. »
