Prostitution as a theme in Russian literature

[O.F. Boele]

Dear Joe,

Olga Matich'  1983 article "A Typology of Fallen Women"  should
give you some clues ("American Contributions to the IX (?)
International Congress for Slavists in Kiev"). Also check out
"Sonia's Daughters. Prostitutes and their Regulation in Imperial
Russia" by Laurie Bernstein (Berkeley, 1995). It's a historical
survey, but it contains some references to literature as well.

Good luck.

Otto
