Stealing Things traces the representations of thieves and thievery
in nineteenth-century French novels. Re-reading canonical texts by
Balzac, the Comtesse de Segur, and Zola through the lens of crime,
Peters highlights bourgeois anxiety about ownership and objects
while considering the impact of literature on popular attitudes
about crime and its legislation and punishment. A detailed analysis
of the role of objects, this work chronicles nineteenth-century
changes in legal attitudes, popular mentalities, and individual and
social identity, focusing particularly on the resulting
transformations in representations of gender, class, and (criminal)
subjectivity.
