Affect Theory is peopled by progressives anxious to expose the structures of interpersonal power that shape people's lives. Society's approval or disapproval is conveyed through emotive signals to the individual and experienced as either good or bad feelings. Feelings serve as either positive or negative reinforcement for what the larger group has adopted as normal. Scholars like Sara Ahmed, Lauren Berlant, and Anne Cvetkovich have published extensively on how this method of considering dynamics between individual identity and group identity impacts the core issue of agency. Of particular interest for each of these writers is the way in which media reiterate guiding societal standards. This concern about the power of media can be traced to the roots of Affect Theory in Marxist discourses. However, appreciation of media and its use of emotion as a tool to shape behavior are not limited to twentieth and twenty-first-century critics.

Affect Theory is peopled by progressives anxious to expose the structures of interpersonal power that shape people's lives. Society's approval or disapproval is conveyed through emotive signals to the individual and experienced as either good or bad feelings. Feelings serve as either positive or negative reinforcement for what the larger group has adopted as normal. Scholars like Sara Ahmed, Lauren Berlant, and Anne Cvetkovich have published extensively on how this method of considering dynamics between individual identity and group identity impacts the core issue of agency. Of particular interest for each of these writers is the way in which media reiterate guiding societal standards. This concern about the power of media can be traced to the roots of Affect Theory in Marxist discourses. However, appreciation of media and its use of emotion as a tool to shape behavior are not limited to twentieth and twenty-first-century critics.

The works of American literary naturalists mirror the same concern shown by recent Affect theorists on the use of media and emotion. Criticism written by Frank Norris and Hamlin Garland through the last decade of the nineteenth century strongly emphasize these points with an overt aim of enhancing individual agency as part of a progressive political aim to promote the democratic nature of society in the United States. The media that Norris and Garland choose to discuss is largely limited to the novel, but they each argue that the novel provides a powerful voice for enshrining and promulgating the values of a people. Looking back, at these authors who exist at what has been termed the nadir of race relations and who tend to think in terms of "mankind" rather than humanity, it is easy to discount the progressive nature of their works as being, in fact, merely self-promotion of the majority. However, the criticism of each centers on the encouragement of readers to become writers, to engage with the written word from an informed and reflective position, with a particular awareness for what emotion accomplishes. For that reason, the progressive stances of American literary naturalists should not be discounted.

This study examines the critical works of Frank Norris and Hamlin Garland, comparing them to similar projects by Affect theorists, demonstrating how the naturalists work in a parallel vein with remarkably similar ends. I provide readings of literary works by both Norris and Garland in order to correlate how their critical concepts play out in execution. In conclusion, I turn to the literary work of Stephen Crane, fellow naturalist, to show how the ideas developed by Norris and Garland play out across the genre, and how these mirror those of Affect scholars.
