#book compilation

• Anthology — A compilation of selected literary pieces (poems, prose, essays, dramatic fragments) belonging to several authors or to a single author, chosen on the basis of well-defined aesthetic, thematic, chronological, or geographical criteria. This structural philological and editorial tool aims to provide a representative qualitative synthesis of an era, a cultural movement, or a specific literary genre.
• Anthologize — To subject a text or a work to the process of selection and structural grouping within an anthology; to choose representative fragments or complete writings of some authors in order to gather them in a collection with a well-defined aesthetic or critical profile. This approach implies rigorously evaluating the intrinsic value of the works to guarantee them a benchmark place within a collective volume.
