Lindsay’s work focuses on the first Russian modernists and their literary, theatrical, and critical engagement with genre theory and religious philosophy. Her teaching interests include 19th-century Russian literature, Dostoevsky, and late-Soviet and contemporary Russian cinema. Her book project reframes Russian Symbolism between the deaths of Dostoevsky and Tolstoy (1881-1910) to show how the cultural moment of both writers’ deaths, as well as their lyrical and philosophical modes of inquiry, influenced Symbolist poetic and dramatic theory and practice.
