Commedia - Academic Links

These are sites that broadly describe commedia dell' arte and give its history. Also included here are any course descriptions, course notes, and resources for classes taught on the subject of commedia. In many cases these sites have sub-pages that focus on narrower topics, such as lazzi, scenarios, masks, characters, etc. In such cases, we have the home-page link here, and the specialty page in the appropriate category.
