Poisson brackets for covariant field theory are defined in such a way as to demonstrate the close connection and ready transition between the classical brackets and the corresponding commutators of quantum theory. The approach of Good is followed in general; but the questions of tensor algebra are handled differently, requiring the introduction of a family of space-like surfaces and their normals. As an illustration, the free Klein-Gordon and Dirac fields are worked out.
