The writer, scientist, philosopher, and radical democrat Georg
Buchner (1813-1837) occupies a unique place in the cultural legacy
of the German-speaking countries. Born into an epoch of inevitable,
yet arrested historical transition, Buchner produced a small but
exceptionally rich body of work. This collection of essays in
English and in German considers the full spectrum of his writings,
the political pamphlet "Der Hessische Landbote," the dramas
"Danton's Tod," "Leonce und Lena," "Woyzeck," and the fragmentary
narrative "Lenz," as well as the letters, the philosophical
lectures on Descartes and Spinoza, and the scientific texts. The
essays examine connections between these works, study texts in
detail, debate ways of editing them, and trace their reception in
contemporary literature and film. The novel readings presented here
not only celebrate Buchner on the eve of his bicentenary birthday
but also insert this untimely figure into discussions of the
revolution-restoration dynamic and realism in poetics and politics.
