EDAM

The Early Drama, Art, and Music project was established in 1976 to encourage, coordinate, sponsor, and publish research, especially of an interdisplinary nature, in these fields. While the principal focus remains on iconography especially (but not exclusively) as it relates to drama and the theater, attention is also given to other aspects of dramatic production and to music. EDAM can provide bibliographic advice, share its check-lists and archival holdings, and otherwise assist scholars in their research.

The EDAM Monograph Series is designed to make available scholarly studies that advance our knowledge of the various fields to which EDAM is committed. While emphasis is usually on interdisciplinary studies, in some instances these volumes focus on an important aspect of iconography, staging, music (including music aesthetics and musical iconography), etc. Some of the volumes are collections of essays and studies; others are presentations by a single author.

The EDAM Reference Series includes subject lists that index provincial art relevant to the study of the iconography of drama and the theater, though the volumes in this series are also of wide interest to art historians, musicologists, and others. Some volumes focus specifically on the music of the drama or on music and ceremony of a quasi-dramatic nature.
