About the author

Various is the correct author for any book with multiple unknown authors, and is acceptable for books with multiple known authors, especially if not all are known or the list is very long (over 50).

If an editor is known, however, Various is not necessary. List the name of the editor as the primary author (with role "editor"). Contributing authors' names follow it.

Note: WorldCat is an excellent resource for finding author information and contents of anthologies.

Reviews

[Susan Paxton · Rating 4 out of 5]

An interesting collection of pieces and excerpts on the Titanic ranging from nonfiction to fiction to plays and poems; helps place the disaster well within its context.
