Abstract
Since the turn of the present century, critics have taken a keen interest in the works of the early nineteenth
century writer Georg Buchner. Modern critics have come to
accept his realistic literary style which was contrary to
the beliefs of his contemporaries. Buchner's main concern
was the endless struggle of man, not only with his environment,
but also with himself. Each one of his works presents
the various degrees of unpleasantness which torments the
common man. Such subject presentation was all too harsh for
the people familiar with the fantasy of the preceding romantic
era. Buchner was a nonconformist whose literary efforts
were long considered shams and disgraces. This study is an
attempt to disclose the basic aesthetical elements Buchher
employed to create realistic scenes. It will provide a
discussion of his aesthetics and include an evaluation of
his ideals as demonstrated in the prose composition Lenz.
