Georg Büchner was a German dramatist and prose writer whose talent is widely held in high esteem.

His work is considered pivotal in German literature, though his impact could have been even more profound. Büchner's contribution lies in his keen insights into human existence and his innovative approach to writing.

Written in 1836, Woyzeck is often considered to be the first truly modern play. The story of a soldier driven mad by inhuman military discipline and acute social deprivation is told in splintered dialogue and jagged episodes, which are as shocking and telling today as they were when first performed, almost a century after the author's death, in Munich 1913. This edition contains introductory commentary and notes by Laura Martin from the University of Glasgow.
