Georg Büchner is regularly considered the father of modern German drama, and "Woyzeck"
was his most influential work. Beneath the utter simplicity of its
basic story, there are complex themes of human motivation,
victimisation, guilt, class structure, and the meaning and nature of
existence. This edition incorporates the recent research on the text,
and provides full Introduction and Notes.
