The term "preamble" in literature often connotes an introductory statement that prepares the reader for what is to come, whether framing legal principles, setting narrative tone, or simply providing a preliminary remark. In historical and political texts, such as Rousseau’s discussion of edicts ([1]) and the formal statement in the Massachusetts Bill of Rights ([2], [3]), the preamble is a deliberate and authoritative introduction that outlines purpose and intent. Conversely, in narrative fiction and adventure tales—from Jules Verne’s works ([4], [5], [6]) to the spirited accounts of Defoe ([7], [8], [9])—the preamble can either signal an elaborate buildup of context or be bypassed entirely for a punchier entrance. Additionally, some authors employ the term in a meta-literary or humorous way, as seen in Rabelais’s rhetorical flourish ([10]) or when an author playfully dismisses the need for one ([11]). This varied usage highlights the versatility of "preamble" as both a structural and stylistic element in literature.
