What is an "anthology"?
An anthology is a collection of selected works, such as poems, short stories, essays, or other written pieces, gathered into one book. These works are usually chosen based on a common theme, genre, or author, and the anthology serves as a way to showcase a variety of examples within that area. Anthologies are often used in literature courses to introduce students to different styles of writing or to provide a broad range of literary works from various authors. They offer readers a diverse selection of material, making it easier to explore different ideas and perspectives.
Examples
