Particularly ones about France from the 1890s to before WWI. I'd especially like to learn about life for the working class in Paris and other large cities as well as the socialist, anarchist, and other leftist movements of the time. But of course I'd be perfectly happy with things of a broader scale!
I'd also be interested in primary sources from the time, or other sources that aren't necessarily books. I'd even look into works of fiction if there are any that you find particularly well-researched.
Some general works that might provide broad context:
Eugen Weber, Fin de siècle and Peasants into Frenchmen
Stephen Kern, Culture of Time and Space
Rosalind Williams, Dream Worlds: Mass Consumption in Late-Nineteenth Century France
Vanessa Schwartz, Spectacular Realities: Early Mass Culture in Fin-de-Siècle France
Gay Gullickson, Unruly Women of Paris: Images of the Commune
Ruth Harris, Lourdes
Roger Shattuck, The Banquet Years (older but a good narrative on the cultural change in the arts)
On workers, see:
Leora Auslander, Taste and Power
Gerard Noirel, Workers in French Society
Kathryn Ambur, Syndicalist Legacy
Lenard Berlanstein, Big Business and Industrial Conflict
On leftist movements, see:
Tony Judt, Socialism in Provence
Laird Boswell, Rural Communism in France
Charles Sowerwine, Sisters or Socialism?
The likely novel you'd want to look at is Zola's Germinal, which is set in the Second Empire but does speak of the workers movement (primarily syndicalism) in 19th century France.
I hope this helps you get started. I could recommend more or more specific ones. Let me know.
