Sources on Russian (popular?) culture 1880-1910s

[Francoise Rosset]

Dear SEELangers:

I'm looking for suggestions for an (undergraduate) non-Russian major 
student asking about _general_ sources discussing "cultural norms," 
"attitudes toward gender, religion, education, the family" around 
Chekhov's time.

The library has suggested books like _Natasha's Dance_ and _Cultural 
Mythologies_. All my material on Chekhov is about stage history or 
literature (including *Anton Chekhov and His Times*, which consists of 
correspondence). I could also suggest various specific things on the 
"Woman Question," Sofia Kovalevskaia, The Kreutzer Sonata, Kollontai 
etc. But I don't have anything general to suggest and very little on 
religion, education. Perhaps a few articles?

Thank you,
-FR
