# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Mikhail Mikhailovich Bakhtin was born 16 November 1895 and spent the 1920s engaged in Soviet debates on aesthetics and literature, developing a distinctive position on the philosophy of language, ethics, and literary theory that few noticed at the time. His writings ranged across subjects broad enough to later inspire traditions as different as Marxism, semiotics, structuralism, and religious criticism, and disciplines from history and philosophy to sociology, anthropology, and psychology. The work went largely unrecognized until Russian scholars rediscovered him in the 1960s, decades after he'd done it. He died 7 March 1975, his influence arriving late but landing wide.
