I hope I understood your question right: your interest lies on 19th century litterature in generally and you are not looking for texts belonging to French literature only?
The best literature sites in French seem to concentrate on French or francophone literature. It could help me if you defined your question a bit. Are you interested in a special language area or a certain literary movement? What is the level of your studies?
Here are some links for you to start with. I would be glad to answer you again after getting some more details.
Revue d'Histoire du Dix-Neuvième Siècle (périodique en ligne)
