What was Pre-Emancipation Europe (including Russia) like for Jews? How was daily life? How did it change after?

Any good sources/books on Pre-Emancipation European Jewish life? I know this is a general question, but I’m interested in sources and/or introductory information about the policies that constrained or enabled possibilities in life and just the culture of everyday life in general for ordinary Jews in Europe before Emancipation, and how everything changed after. In addition I imagine the Haskalah is relevant.

Can someone sketch out the lines in broad strokes for me and point to relevant literature? (And please include interesting details).
