fantasy literature
Fantasy literature is the body of written works that employ the motifs, themes, and stylistic approaches expected in the fantasy genre. Historically, most works of fantasy are written pieces of literature. Since the 1960s however, a growing segment of the fantasy genre has taken the form of films, television programs, graphic novels, video games, music, painting, and other media.
==History==
(詳細はHomer's ''Odyssey'' satisfies the definition of the fantasy genre with its magic, gods, heroes, adventures and monsters. Fantasy literature, as a distinct type, emerged in Victorian times, with the works of writers such as Mary Shelley, William Morris and George MacDonald.
J. R. R. Tolkien played a large role in the popularization and accessibility of the fantasy genre with his highly successful publications ''The Hobbit'' (1937) and ''The Lord of the Rings'' (1954–55).〔 Rarely does one consider modern fantasy without conjuring the memory and image of Tolkien and his creations. Tolkien was largely influenced by an ancient body of Anglo-Saxon myths, particularly ''Beowulf'', as well as modern works such as ''The Worm Ouroboros'' by E. R. Eddison. Tolkien's close friend C. S. Lewis, author of ''The Chronicles of Narnia'' and a fellow English professor with a similar array of interests, also helped to publicize the fantasy genre.
