Critics and audiences often judge films, books and other media as ""great"" - but what does that really mean? This collection of new essays examines the various criteria by which degrees of greatness (or not-so) are constructed - whether by personal, political or social standards–through topics in cinema, literature and adaptation.

Critics and audiences often judge films, books and other media as “great” —but what does that really mean?

This collection of new essays examines the various criteria by which degrees of greatness (or not-so) are constructed—whether by personal, political or social standards—through topics in cinema, literature and adaptation. The contributors recognize how issues of value vary across different cultures, and explore what those differences say about cultural attitudes and beliefs.

Laurence Raw has published extensively in the field of film adaptations and performance. He teaches in the Department of English at Baskent University, Ankara, Turkey.
