CFP: The FBI Files on Literary Modernism (3/15/04; MLA '04)

For a special session to be proposed for the annual MLA Convention, December 27-30, 2004, Philadelphia, paper proposals are welcomed that analyze FBI Files on literary modernists such as (but not limited to): Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, James Joyce, Thomas Mann, Bertolt Brecht, Ezra Pound, John Steinbeck. What has been the FBI's role in censoring or manipulating the literary reputations of certain figures? What do the files reveal about an author's cultural or historical significance? How did the FBI affect literary production in the 20th century?
