New angle on Potter appreciation

5/9/2014

A new book that takes a new approach to Potter's work has just been published: Remembering Dennis Potter Through Fans, Extras and Archives. Several major studies have been produced since his death in 1994 but this is the first to step away from biographical and textual analysis to begin looking at the very processes of remembering him and his work. Written jointly by established scholar Professor Joanne Garde-Hansen, and  PhD research student Hannah Grist the book was in part the result of their work with the Dennis Potter Heritage Project in the Forest of Dean. Drawing on memories of fans, extras, and production archives the book explores the establishment of Potter as media heritage. 

'These personal and production memories are unique within screen history and offer scholars of television, media history, sociology, drama, regional studies, museology and heritage management a valuable insight into how members of the public provide institutions with deep and affective responses to media as heritage.'
