I thought of the epilogue as something to offer an engaged and interested reader to summarise/deepen the argument already made whereas the conclusion was pitched more at an undergraduate who might not even read the rest of it. also writing the epilogue was really fun...!

Yes, the epilogue was about 30 pages (A4 double spaced) whereas the conclusion was only 6 pages - a brief top level summary of the overall argument/arguments of each chapter, and then a discussion of the avenues this opened up for future work and a reflection on the contemporary relevance of my work

I don’t know if this counts as it’s not (yet) a monograph, but I did an epilogue in my phd thesis which was a biographical case study. I saw it as an opportunity to draw together the themes of the thesis but adopt a different, lighter, more narrative tone. This meant my conclusion was very short!
