To this end, it challenges prevailing assumptions about the pioneering crime fiction of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century France, revealing that the novels of Maurice Leblanc and Gaston Leroux depict the golden age that preceded the First World War while also critiquing the dominant paradigm of the day. The chapter shows how these authors comment on society using the tropes of the crime novel, while also giving greater complexity to the crime novel by introducing the social networks and genealogies of ambiguous, damaged protagonists. These novels are also shown to have embraced psychoanalysis, which was still in its infancy.

La campagne de denigrement personnel menee contre lui par ceux qui l’ont accompagne aux Antipodes n’explique qu’en partie ce revers de fortune. Une analyse de son voyage aux Antilles et des conditions de sa reussite permet de mieux saisir, a contrario, l’impact qu’auront sur sa reputation, comme sur sa pratique du voyage scientifique, les profondes mutations qui s’operent en France entre le Directoire et l’Empire, au niveau politique et institutionnel.

ABSTRACT The encounter between Nicolas Baudin and Matthew Flinders off the south coast of New Hol... more ABSTRACT The encounter between Nicolas Baudin and Matthew Flinders off the south coast of New Holland in April 1802 has attracted considerable attention. For many, it has come to symbolise the triumph of the spirit of international scientific cooperation over national rivalries and personal ambitions. Scholarly analysis of the complexities of the encounter moment itself has, however, served to modify this idealised image. The injustice subsequently done to Flinders by François Péron and Louis de Freycinet, who failed to acknowledge his discoveries on this coast in the published account of the French voyage, has also generated much discussion. The impact of the encounter on Baudin and his men, on the other hand, has not been subjected to the same scrutiny. Through a close examination of the archival documentation, this essay offers the French perspective on Matthew Flinders and highlights the ramifications for the Baudin expedition of this fateful meeting with him.

En puisant dans des sources jusqu'ici peu exploitees, dont les ecrits d'Arthur Young lui-meme, nous etudions ici ses origines ecossaises, ses liens avec le milieu fourieriste anglais, son ambition de fonder une colonie en Australie, sa carriere tardive de philosophe. Young est un fidele de la cause du phalanstere. Mais c'est en elaborant son propre œuvre qu'il depasse le role de simple disciple et renoue enfin avec son destin: etre ecrivain et penseur.

The nature of scientific voyaging evolved considerably during the second half of the eighteenth c... more The nature of scientific voyaging evolved considerably during the second half of the eighteenth century, as the focus shifted from speculative explorations aimed at geographical discovery to the more programmatic and methodical collection of data and specimens. Consequently, field work came to occupy an increasingly central place and, as this necessitated breaks in the journey, the notion of interruption became inscribed in the conception and practice of the voyage of discovery. Fresh narrative approaches were required both to reflect this change and to feed the growing public interest in natural history. This, however, posed a dilemma: how could detailed and often specialized scientific reporting be incorporated within travel accounts without interrupting the narrative flow? This essay proposes to address that question by conducting a detailed analysis of the textual records pertaining to the last of the great scientific voyages of this period: Nicolas Baudin's expedition to Australia (1800–1804). It will in particular attempt to explain why, despite the innovative approaches taken by the commander and by his leading scientist to weave the interruptions of science into a coherent narrative, this voyage ultimately failed to impose a new mode of scientific travel writing.Jean Fornasiero and John West-Soob

Et pourtant, si tous s’accordent pour saluer la poesie et la portee de cette immense œuvre romanesque, l’unanimite est loin d’etre acquise sur les questions relatives aux opinions de Verne et a l’interet que porte le romancier a l’histoire ou a la vie politique de son temps. Terrain glissant s’il en est, surtout lorsqu’il s’agit de situer Verne, par personnages interposes, ou en citant les propos de l’auteur, dans une mouvance politique trop precise. Comme les nombreuses biographies et la correspondance n’ont revele aucune faille importante dans “la facade bourgeoise” derriere laquelle s’abrite le romancier, toute tentative pour lier l’homme aux elans contestataires de ses personnages semble perdue d’avance. Malgre la seduction operee autrefois par les intuitions de Marcel More, les commentateurs preferaient
