Edited collections are widely supposed to contain lesser work than
scholarly journals; to be incoherent as volumes, no more than the
sum of their parts; and to be less visible to potential readers
once published. It is also often taken as axiomatic that those who
make decisions in relation to hiring, promotion, tenure, and
funding do so agree. To publish in or edit an essay collection is
thought to risk being penalised for the format before even a word
is read. After examining the origins of this critique, this Element
explores the modern history of the edited collection and the
particular roles it has played. It examines each component part of
the critique, showing that they are either largely unfounded or
susceptible of solution. It proposes the edited collection as a
model of one possible idea of scholarly community: collaboration,
trust, and mutual obligation in pursuit of a wider good.
