collected essays

Compiled prose pieces

Collected essays is a book gathering previously published essays by a single author, often spanning years or decades of work.

The collection may be organized by theme, chronology, or subject matter.

Unlike an anthology, which draws from multiple authors, collected essays showcase one writer's range: Her collected essays on feminism sold surprisingly well.
