selected readings

Chosen text passages

Selected readings are texts chosen from a larger body of work, typically assembled for educational purposes or to represent key ideas on a subject.

A course syllabus might list selected readings from various theorists.

Anthologies often present selected readings from an author's complete works, offering highlights rather than the whole.
