The Art of Anthologizing: Crafting Collections of Literature and Art

An anthologist is a person who collects and compiles works of literature, art, or music into a single volume or collection. The term can also refer to the editor or compiler of such a collection.

Anthologists are responsible for selecting and arranging the works included in their anthologies, and may also provide introductions, commentary, or other contextual material to help readers understand the significance and relevance of the works. Anthologists may work on a wide range of topics and genres, from poetry and short stories to essays and historical documents.

Some famous anthologists include:

* Ezra Pound, who compiled the influential anthology "The Cantos"
* T.S. Eliot, who edited the "Harvard Classics" series of anthologies
* J.D. Salinger, who compiled the anthology "Nine Stories"
* Margaret Atwood, who has edited several anthologies of Canadian literature
* Neil Gaiman, who has compiled anthologies of comic books and short stories.
