A researcher in Southern California is looking for advice on additional sources (primary and secondary) for background material for a novel. She sent me the following description of her project and her situation, emphasizing the need for more information on daily life for the poorer classes in the shtetl:
<< I am researching for a novel I'm writing, which is set in Russia, the Pale of the Settlement, in 1905. I've looked at the new Yale University encyclopedia about Eastern Europe, gone on the internet and collected books, including a few memoirs that were written about that period. But the more I write, the more questions I have, about daily life for the poorer classes in the shtetl, military life, landscape, etc. >> If anyone has suggestions for her please contact her directly. Thanks very much.
