"Wheeler Winston Dixon is a major American film critic, whose writing is distinguished by its rhetorical sweep and vigor, its wide-ranging synthetic power, and its unusual depth and reach. As an archivist, he is unmatched in his knowledge of the highways and byways of film production. And as a theorist, his books display an argumentative energy and clarity that reaches out beyond the academic, scholarly audience in order to address a broader audience." - Steven Shaviro, author of Connected, or What It Means to Live in the Network Society
Wheeler Winston Dixon is the Ryan Professor of Film Studies, Professor of English at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, and Editor in Chief of the Quarterly Review and Film and Video.
