New York; Thomas Y. Crowell Company; 1976. Miller's analysis of the abridgment and mistranslation of Verne, and his call for accurate and complete English renderings, initiated a major reassessment by English-speaking critics of Verne's importance, and is credited with fostering the publication of numerous new English editions of Verne and the emergence of Verne studies as a serious academic discipline in the US and UK. Miller's scholarly edition of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea was the first annotated editions of this novel in any language. In his later years Miller was a valued mentor to Verne scholars in the US, UK, Europe, and Asia.
