Paratext, the most marginal part of a text, has been rarely considered the central focus of any research or literary criticism. Beginning from the title to the back-cover information of a book, Genette dedicated a whole work to this aspect of a text in his “Seuils” (1987). In spite of all the basic theoretical references which this work has provided for literary criticism, it failed to find a fundamental place in the field of practical literary analyses. This article has studied the Paratext of “Death of Yazdgerd”, a historical drama written by Bahram Beyzai. “Title”, “Epigraph” and pre-interactional “Stage direction”, the three outer text elements, have been perused in the mentioned drama. It is postulated that the Paratext of this opus, presents enough aesthetic and ideological elements to inform the reader of the form and contents of the text. Paratext has gone farther than its basic introductive role and has almost created a “cover-all” condensation for the play. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
