Description: Examines the presence of paratextual material in late antique literature, focusing particularly on poetic texts.

Review Quotes: "The papers assembled here advance scholarship on many aspects of the paratexts that survive around the poetry of Late Antiquity, as these contributions show that professions of simplicity and rusticity continue to trip up modern readers who are all too ready to ignore the contributions of Late Antiquity." --Aaron Pelttari, Senior Lecturer of Latin Literature, University of Edinburgh, UK
