Given an arbitrary group presentation, often very little can be deduced about the underlying group. It is thus something of a miracle that many properties of one-relator groups can be simply read-off from the defining relator. In this talk, I will discuss some of the classical results in the theory of one-relator groups, as well as the key trick used in many of their proofs. Time-permitting, I'll also discuss more recent work on this subject, including some open problems.
