High fantasy


 

High fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy fiction that is set in invented or parallel worlds. Built upon the platform of a diverse body of works in the already very popular fantasy genre, high fantasy came into fruition through the work of authors such as C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien. While it's nowhere near the oldest fantasy subgenre, it, alongside sword and sorcery, has become one of the two most commonly associated with the term fantasy.
