Loss is under theorized in narrative fiction, with recent trends in literary criticism treating loss predominantly in relationship to psychoanalytic theory or trauma. But experiences of loss are uniquely resistant to language; the project of representing loss in writing thereby poses challenges that are productive to trace. Following the 21st century "affective turn," I argue that a focus on the affective dimension of language in literature allows us to more fully explore the resistance of loss to representation. This dissertation focuses on 20th century novels by several important contemporary women fiction writers - Toni Morrison, Louise Erdrich, and Jeanette Winterson - and explores their reliance on the meaning making and communicative powers of affect to represent loss. Paying close attention to their engagement of affect through literary poetics, or style, I elucidate how the novels under study negotiate the written representation of loss. My close reading of syntactical structures aims to elucidate both a particular author's strategy of representation as well as the "shape" (Scarry 1994) of the obstacle to representation posed by particular experiences of loss. Part of what loss signifies is the presence of history. The dead call us to tell their (our) stories, to bring the present and the past to meet. This dissertation seeks to demonstrate that the authors under consideration, each of whom writes from intersections of marginalized communities, engage with affect in ways that ultimately allow them to communicate unrecognized histories as well as particular and marginalized ontological standpoints of knowing and being in the world. A chapter on pedagogy applies the conceptual and practical approaches that a consideration of affect offers to Humanities and Social Sciences teaching, with specific attention paid to writing pedagogy. While the premise that learning is a whole-bodied affair is readily acknowledged on a conceptual level by many teachers and pedagogy scholars, in higher education this common-sense premise is not so commonly practiced. In my final chapter, I outline and advocate for an "affective pedagogical framework" which engages issues of access and equity by centering learners' fully embodied processes of acquiring new, complex skill sets.
