Children in 19th-century Russian lit

[Sasha Senderovich]

Well, as for the girls I can think of something written not in the Russian
language, but certainly composed in and concerning children in the Russian
Empire! Sholem Aleykhem's early installments of "Tevye der milkhiker" are
written at the end of the 19th century (beginning in 1894) and concern
daughters, not sons. The famous daughters are, of course, older than 10, but
there are younger daughters in the background who might be important. Well,
they are important: from time to time, Tevye speaks of all his daughters in
the plural.
