Yuri Corrigan studies the intersections of philosophy, religion, and psychology in modern Russian and European literature, with a focus on the Russian 19th century. He is the author of Dostoevsky and the Riddle of the Self (2017), the editor of Chekhov in Context (2023), and is working on two new books—one titled Soul Geographers: From Gogol to Nietzsche, a comparative study of literary attempts to map the unconscious in the 19th century, the other probing Chekhov as a moral thinker for our time.
