Adapted from the Original cover

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.

“Students will glean from it many valuable discoveries and insights.”—Journal of Popular Film and Television; “Overviews different frameworks for constructions of value, then presents case studies on the value of adaptation”—ProtoView.
