In book publishing, an anthology is a collection of literary works. It may be a collection of plays, poems, short stories or songs.[1]
In genre fiction, the term anthology is often used to group together a number of shorter works. These may be short stories or television programs, The items are often written by different authors but they can be by the same person.[2][3] Anthologies have unrelated groups of characters and settings. An anthrology is normally collected into a single item such as a book for publication. Complete collections of works are often called "complete works" or "opera omnia" (Latin version).
