Anthology is a collection of works, usually literary or artistic, which are a selection of the best or most important works on a certain topic, genre or period. Such a collection can include poems, short stories, essays, fairy tales, etc.
Anthologies can be composed of works by the same author or represent different authors, as well as cover different styles, eras or themes. This is a convenient way to present the diversity and development of a particular theme or genre within a single edition.
A good example of an anthology is the "Ukrainian Poetry Anthology" published by A-BA-BA-GA-LA-MA-GA.
