References for Hamiltonian field theory and Dirac Brackets

[andresB]

I'm looking for complete and detailed references on constrained Hamiltonian systems and Dirac brackets. While my main interest is electrodynamics, I would prefer a complete exposition of the theory from the ground up.

So far, my knowledge about the topic comes from books in QFT, like Weinberg. But those books just want to get over with it quickly and go to QED, so it is somewhat unsatisfactory.

So, any good reference out there?

Absolutely, it is the "bible" Henneaux, M., Teitelboim, C. "Quantization of Gauge Theories", or Sundermayer, K. "Constrained Dynamics".
