Annotatsiya

This article explores the evolution of fantasy literature from its ancient roots in folklore and myth to the richly developed modern epics of the 20th century. Tracing its lineage through medieval romance, Renaissance satire, Romantic mysticism, and Gothic horror, the study highlights key literary shifts and the contributions of influential authors such as George MacDonald, William Morris, and J. R. R. Tolkien. It examines how fantasy adapted to cultural and philosophical changes, balancing enchantment with skepticism, and ultimately emerged as a serious literary genre. The discussion also considers how the concept of "secondary worlds," the estrangement of reality, and the interplay of language and myth have defined fantasy's narrative power. By charting these developments, the article reveals fantasy literature as a dynamic and reflective form that continues to evolve while resonating with universal human experiences.
