Jules Verne’s United States and The Will of an Eccentric

Over the recent decades, Verne’s literary portrait of the United States has been gradually filled in, first with Walter James Miller’s The Annotated Jules Verne: From the Earth the Moon (1978), then with the first publication of “The Humbug” as part of The Jules Verne Encyclopedia (1996), and in 2006 with the publication of the original text of The Meteor Hunt. Yet one more book, however, while known to Verne aficionados since it was published in England, has never appeared in the United States -- The Will of an Eccentric.
