"In book publishing, an anthology is a collection of literary works chosen by the compiler; it may be a collection of plays, poems, short stories, songs or excerpts by different authors.[citation needed] In genre fiction, the term "anthology" typically categorizes collections of shorter works such as short stories and short novels, by different authors, each featuring unrelated casts of characters and settings, and usually collected into a single volume for publication.[citation needed]
Complete collections of works are often called "complete works" or "opera omnia" (Latin language equivalent)." - (en.wikipedia.org 22.12.2019)
