Early Drama, Art, and Music
"The major American scholarly enterprise focused on medieval
drama. . . ."
(Richard K. Emmerson, Envoi 1988)
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.
Proposals for projected volumes as well as manuscripts for consideration should be
submitted to the EDAM office for evaluation.
