Ms Kylie Minogue has been named Greatest Living Australian. The Great Novel (a term alien to Henry James) came into common currency, and Hollywood, in an absurdity of excess, claimed greatness for movie stars. Yet the adjective retained an ironic twist. Charles Chaplin, in The Great Dictator, poked holes in Hitler's image by ridiculing the pomposity of his assumption of greatness.
