NOTES

1. G. Thomas Tanselle, review of The Federal Theatre Project, in Journal of American History 54, no. 4 (March 1968): 921–22.

2. Indeed, two of us on the panel from which these essays originated owe a debt to Jane De Hart for the directions her work sent us in: Eileen Boris has noted that The Federal Theatre was important for her as she embarked on her career with her first book, Art and Labor: Ruskin, Morris, and the Craftsman Ideal in America (Philadelphia, 1986)Google Scholar, and I followed a similar path with my book Federalizing the Muse: United States Arts Policy and the National Endowment for the Arts, 1965–1980 (Chapel Hill, 2004). I would like to thank Eileen Boris for her efforts in organizing our panel at the 2008 Policy History Conference as well as Linda Kerber for her enthusiasm to publish our forum.
