This book is a sequel to The Deceptive Text: An Introduction to Covert Plots. Critics said of that volume: ’Here is a rare book - a study of fictional theory which is actually fun to read... We know of no other recent book quite like this one’ ((Journal of Modern Literature). ’Deeply meditated... and meticulously written’ (Conradiana). ’Rich in ideas, stimulating, critically helpful’ (The Conradian). ’[Watts is] a man for whom the enjoyment and enrichment of friends and students are the main considerations in what he does’ (The Times Literary Supplement).Covert Plots: Yet More! reveals or postulates hidden plots in works by Shakespeare, Wells, Kipling, Conrad, Forster, Golding, Beckett, Barthes and others. This distinctive branch of narratology transforms (and sometimes subverts) our understanding of important works. 3
