History class- Research Paper

The research paper target is Jules Verne.

The years between the 1870s and the Second World War saw the creation of many great works of literature, art, and music.  The study of the creators of these works is interesting in itself and can also shed light on the broader cultural developments of this time.  Many creators worked in new styles that became known as Modernism or Modern Art, but others worked in more traditional styles.

Her work still valued today?
