摘要：In June 2010, the editorial board of Verniana lost one of its most respected and influential members. Walter James Miller was a pioneer of modern Verne studies who, in the 1960s, was the first to point out the poor quality of most English translations of Verne and the damage that this had done to Verne’s literary reputation. For half a century, Miller led what he called the "rescue team" – scholars who worked with him and under his influence to rehabilitate Verne's status among contemporary scholars and enthusiasts in the English-speaking world.
