    Stealing Things demonstrates how ninteenth-century French narratives portraying the "thief" figure reflect and critique popular attitudes of the times. This book focuses on how stolen objects shape individual identity and social status. It incorporates minor works by major authors, alongside treatises, children's fiction, and memoirs, for a unique look at the criminal underside of popular literature in nineteenth-century France.
