Abstract
The generalized electrodynamics proposed by Podolsky is analyzed from the Hamiltonian point of view, using Dirac theory for constrained systems. The problem of gauge fixing for the theory is studied in detail and the correct generalization of the radiation gauge is obtained, a subject that has not been examined correctly in the earlier literature. The Dirac brackets for the dynamical variables in this gauge are calculated.
