anthology

Also known as compilation

In book publishing, an anthology is a collection of literary works chosen by the compiler. It may be a collection of plays, poems, short stories, songs, fiction or non-fiction excerpts. There are also thematic and genre-based anthologies. Complete collections of works are also called "complete works" or in Latin.

AI overview

An anthology is a collection of literary works—such as poems, short stories, plays, or songs—that an editor or compiler has selected and gathered together in one book. Anthologies matter because they bring together diverse pieces around a theme or genre, making it easier for readers to explore multiple authors and works in a convenient format.
