Summary: "Desire and Truth"
Comment: An interesting overview of the variety of different plot structures that operate in the early novel, from Lennox (why not Defoe?) to Austen & Scott. Spacks argues that plots reflect a variety of different cultural tensions of the times, all of which are driven by varieties of "desires" or ambitions for different kinds of power.

Free of jargon, and Spacks helps you out with useful summaries if you haven't read the specific novels she's discussing.
