Follow up question: is it the same for quotes at the beginning of chapters? Or for those tantalising chapter summaries you sometimes get in older (or faux older) books?

An Epilogue.

LateShopping1238 t1_iucq2kt wrote on October 30, 2022 at 9:55 AM

Isn't epilogue the chapter after the end of the novel that gives a glimpse of future?

Xyxaan t1_iucq999 wrote on October 30, 2022 at 9:58 AM

Spinningwoman t1_iucqjng wrote on October 30, 2022 at 10:02 AM

I think prologue is generally a short piece of text - like a mini chapter- written by the author, either setting the scene or sometimes giving a brief glimpse into a situation later in the novel to increase anticipation.
