The present thesis studies the representations of the idea of progress within nineteen of Jules Verne's novels, written between 1864 and 1904. It aims at demonstrating that Verne's writing and the topics favored therein constitute an account of the opinions prevailing during the second half of the XIX$ sp{ rm th}$ century. Following an examination of the changes brought by scientific discoveries and their technical applications in French society, as well as of the fears arising from the speedy material progress, it picks out the images that allow the author of the Voyages extraordinaires and the creator of the "scientific novel" to translate and transform the expressions of progress of the period. Finally, the thesis aims to nuance this enthusiastic portrait, and stresses the fact that warnings and ambivalences towards technical progress are not absent from a work that prefers to instruments giving access to progress a moral spirit guiding them.

Dans notre recherche, le premier volume inclut une composante linguistique comportant une analyse textométrique du corpus afin de compléter la vision d’ensemble dans une optique statistique servant à élargir le regard porté sur le discours de Jules Verne. En nous appuyant sur les possibilités offertes par les nouvelles technologies, nous avons fait un travail détaillé portant sur presque l’intégralité du corpus Verne.Le deuxième volume vise à explorer l’influence de la Franc-maçonnerie dans l’écriture vernienne. À cet égard, nous pouvons dire que depuis quelques années, de nouvelles tendances dans l’interprétation de ses textes viennent ajouter un ingrédient supplémentaire à l’éventail de recettes nous permettant d’interpréter autrement l’écrivain nantais. La critique littéraire pose ses regards sur un Jules Verne différent et dont l’œuvre est influencée par l’ésotérisme, conception bien éloignée de la vision que la tradition lui avait accordée. Nous trouvons capital de signaler qu’une composante philosophique proche de certaines sociétés secrètes imprègne l’œuvre de Verne au point de mériter une étude plus approfondie. / In this work, a first volume includes a linguistic component involving a textometric analysis of Jules Verne’s writings that provides an overview of his work from a statistical perspective; this analysis has allowed us to enhance our vision of his discourse. Taking advantage of new possibilities offered by recent technologies, we have performed a detailed study of nearly all of the corpus of Verne.The second volume explores the influence of Freemasonry on Verne’s work. This volume relates to new trends that have been explored in recent years, providing an additional element that has permitted a new interpretation of the writer. This body of literary criticism has examined Jules Verne under a different light, viewing his work as being influenced by esotericism, a perspective significantly removed from the traditional conception of his writings. It is important to emphasize that a philosophical component, close to certain secret societies such as Freemasonry, permeates the work of Verne and deserves further study. / En nuestra investigación, el primer volumen incluye un componente lingüístico que contiene básicamente un análisis textométrico del corpus, con el propósito de completar el panorama desde la óptica de la estadística a fin de ampliar la imagen que se tiene sobre el discurso de Verne. Sobre la base de las posibilidades que ofrecen las nuevas tecnologías, hemos hecho un trabajo detallado de casi todo el corpus Verne.El segundo volumen explora la influencia de la Franmasonería en los escritura verniana. A este respecto, podemos decir que en los últimos años, nuevas tendencias en la interpretación de sus textos vienen a agregar un ingrediente complementario al abanico de recetas que nos permiten interpretar de otra manera al autor nacido en Nantes. La crítica literaria pone sus ojos en un Jules Verne diferente, autor cuya obra está influenciada por el esoterismo, reception ésta muy alejada de la visión que la tradición le había dado. Creemos capital señalar que un componente filosófico, cercano de algunas sociedades secretas, impregna la obra de Verne como para merecer un estudio más profundo.
