Abstract
We study the classical and quantum extended superconformal algebras from the hamiltonian reduction of affine Lie superalgebras, with even subalgebras . At the classical level we obtain generic formulas for the Poisson bracket structure of the algebra. At the quantum level we get free field (Feigin-Fuchs) representations of the algebra by using the BRST formalism and the free field realization of the affine Lie superalgebra. In particular we get the free field representation of the extended superconformal algebra from the Lie superalgebra . We also discuss the screening operators of the algebra and the structure of singular vectors in the free field representation.
