Literary notes about Subsequent (AI summary)
The word "subsequent" in literature is employed to indicate that an event, idea, or edition follows a previous one in time or sequence. It often signals a continuation or evolution of a narrative or argument, as when later sentences invite alternate interpretations ([1]) or when historical records detail campaigns that came later ([2]). In scholarly works, it marks further discussions or analytical chapters ([3], [4]), while in technical descriptions it outlines developments or alterations occurring after an initial point ([5], [6]). In essence, "subsequent" is a versatile adjective that threads together moments of progression, linking earlier concepts with what follows in both narrative and analytical contexts.
- The subsequent sentences seem capable of more than one interpretation.
