What is a paratext, and where can we find it in a Roman text? What
kind of space does a paratext occupy, and how does this space
relate to the text and its contexts? How do we interpret Roman
texts 'paratextually'? And what does this approach suggest about a
work's original modes of plotting meaning, or the assumptions that
underpin our own interpretation? These questions are central to the
conceptual and practical concerns of the volume, which offers a
synoptic study of Roman paratextuality and its exegesis within the
broad sphere of Roman studies. Its contributions, which span
literary, epigraphic and visual culture, focus on a wide variety of
paratextual features - e.g. titles and inter-titles, prefaces,
indices, inscriptions, closing statements, decorative and
formalistic details - and other paratextual phenomena, such as the
frames that can be plotted at various intersections of a text's
formal organization.
