Vidocq’s memoirs (abridged is OK)
Parent-Duchâtelet’s report on prostitution in the city of Paris
Labouring Classes and Dangerous Classes in Paris during the first half of the nineteenth century (Louis Chevalier)

The Mysteries of Paris (Eugène Sue; set slightly after but is LM’s pulp-fiction precursor)
Père Goriot / Lost Illusions / A Harlot High and Low (Honoré de Balzac)
Most of the rest of Balzac’s Comédie Humaine
The Red and the Black (Stendhal)
Lucien Leuwen (Stendhal)
Horace (George Sand)
The Count of Monte Cristo (Dumas père; also set slightly afterwards, but super-entertaining, especially unabridged)
Pont-au-Change

A VERY BROAD TOPIC, so this list is very much biased towards my own taste and experience
Balzac’s classification as “Romantic” is iffy, but he’s the other literary giant of the period
Stendhal (The Red and the Black, Lucien Leuwen, Armance)
George Sand (Lélia, Horace, Consuelo, Indiana if it’s the only one you can find)
Musset (The Confession of a Child of the Century, Les Caprices de Marianne)
Dumas (Monte Cristo, The Three Musketeers, but also his theatre)
Théophile Gautier (Mademoiselle de Maupin, short stories)
Germaine de Staël (Corinne)
Benjamin Constant (Adolphe)
Also look into: Gérard de Nerval, Charles Nodier, Pétrus Borel, Jehan du Seigneur, Lamartine, Alfred de Vigny
Non-French authors the French Romantics were super into: Shakespeare, Walter Scott, ETA Hoffmann, Poe, and most of the other countries’ major Romantics
Your French lit teacher will probably attempt to recommend Chateaubriand, who is an insufferable windbag with the literary equivalent of a punchable face.
