/Compelling and informative, rich in erudition, aligning Morse Peckham 
on contemporary Romanticism with Adorno’s negative dialectics and 
Jacques Rancière on dissensus, /Film, Negation, and Freedom /tells us 
how and why films of years past are vital to critical theory and 
practice today./
*Tom Conley, Professor, Harvard University, USA*

/Art and humanity, rebellion and justice. /Film, Negation and 
Freedom/ takes these most fundamental of Romantic concerns and uses them 
to reinvigorate the intellectual underpinnings of film study. Will 
Kitchen provokes a re-examination of the very nature of cinema, as well 
as of modern intellectual history, through extended discussion of two of 
its most unique practitioners./
*Louis Bayman, Associate Professor, University of Southampton, UK*

/This is a highly theoretically informed, clever and insightful study of 
the cinema of Lindsay Anderson and Arthur Penn, two of the most 
important filmmakers of the 1960s and 1970s. Kitchen teaches us new 
dimensions of some brilliant and truly unforgettable films./
*Erik Hedling, Emeritus Professor, Lund University, Sweden*

/Ambiguity and complexity are the foundation for thinking about freedom, 
and Will Kitchen’s book provides a clear engagement with these ideas 
through romanticism and cinema. This book demonstrates a new way of 
thinking about the political ramifications of romanticism and the way in 
which cinema can be a model for freedom and resistance./
*David Sorfa, Senior Lecturer, University of Edinburgh, UK*
