Abstract
This essay offers a study about the presence and influence of the work of the German playwright Georg Büchner in Spain. In the first place, from the perspective of Comparative Literature, a comparison is established between the theater of Cervantes and the theater of Büchner, taking as reference the comparative figure of polygenesis. Secondly, the presence of Büchner in the Spanish and peninsular literature and theater of the 20th century is analyzed and documented, through the translations, interpretations, editions and staging of his theatrical and literary works
