Book Presentation:
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 attitudes and beliefs.

About the Author:
The late Laurence Raw (1959–2018) published in the field of film adaptations and performance and taught English at Başkent University, Ankara, Turkey.
