Fantasy facts
- Many works within the genre take place in imaginary worlds where magic and magical creatures are common
- Fantasy is generally distinguished from the genres of science fiction and horror by the expectation that it steers clear of scientific and macabre themes, respectively, though there is a great deal of overlap between the three, all of which are subgenres of speculative fiction
- In popular culture, the fantasy genre is predominantly of the medievalist form
- In its broadest sense, however, fantasy comprises works by many writers, artists, filmmakers, and musicians from ancient myths and legends to many recent and popular works
- Fantasy is studied in a number of disciplines including English and other language studies, cultural studies, comparative literature, history and medieval studies
- Work in this area ranges widely from the structuralist theory of Tzvetan Todorov, which emphasizes the fantastic as a liminal space, to work on the connections (political, historical and literary) between medievalism and popular culture
