literature anthologies
Bound selected writings
Literature anthologies are collections of literary works—poems, stories, essays, or excerpts—gathered into a single volume, typically organized by theme, period, genre, or authorship.
They serve as introductions to a body of work: The Norton Anthology of English Literature spans centuries in one book.
Anthologies are staples of literature courses, offering curated samples rather than complete works.
