The Fascinating Evolution of Fantasy Literature 🌟 | From Ancient Myths to Modern Classics

About this video

Fantasy didn’t start with Tolkien... but it also DID.
In this video, I trace the history of the modern fantasy genre — from roots in ancient myths and folklore to the pulp magazines, Tolkien’s revolution, and the modern fantasy revolution. From Beowolf and Arthurian legend to Sanderson, Martin, and Le Guin — this is how fantasy became the world’s most ambitious storytelling tradition.
