Good morning and salutations class, today I am going to have a presentation on fantasy subgenre's. I chose the subject, because I am a nerd, and thus very interested in fantasy, and I was thinking, fantasy is such a broad subject, covering every mythical creature that was ever thought up by man, so I was thinking, there ought to be some subgenres, so I searched for them on the web, and what follows is what I found.
Ill start by the most famous kind of fantasy



High Fantasy

High fantasy is one of the best known kinds of fantasy, including famous works such as lord of the rings by Tolkien. High fantasy stories take place in a world with epic conflicts between good and evil, and a high fantasy world usually contains recurring mythical races such as dwarfs, elves and trolls.
High fantasy is one of the two pillars of the fantasy genre, with almost all of the other genres belonging to either of them, the other pillar is...

Historical Fantasy

Historical fantasy takes place in a world that is very similar to ours, though sometimes in a different time, but features differences that make it part of the fantasy genre, such as magic and mythical monsters. High Fantasy and Historical fantasy exclude each other because one takes place in a complete fantasy world and the other one takes place in a world that resembles reality.
Nearly every historical fantasy story also belongs to another genre, some of which I don't have the time to talk about, like alternate history or wuxia stories, but I will give one big example of historical fantasy...


Superhero fantasy

another well-known genre of fantasy, superhero fantasy features people with extraordinary powers or abilities, such as the x-men or the justice league. Superhero fantasy is primarily portrayed in comic books, mainly published by either marvel entertainment, or DC comics.
And now for an example of high fantasy...


Sword and sorcery

Sword and sorcery is a fantasy genre that takes place in a mythical world, but in contradiction with high fantasy, the story doesn't feature a war between good and evil, but rather a hero who fights for his own personal gains, such as acquiring spoils of war or marrying a rich princess. Many of the “heroes” in these kinds of stories are brutish barbarians who linger for battle. The best known example of sword and sorcery is the renowned Conan the barbarian series.
There are also subgenres that can both belong to High fantasy and historical fantasy, such as...





Science fantasy

Science fantasy blurs the line between science fiction and fantasy. In Science Fiction the plot derives from technologies that are not yet invented, but in Science fantasy the plot resembles a classic fantasy theme, while there are also technologies present that are yet to be invented, such as faster then light engines or laser weapons. The best example of Science Fantasy is star wars.
Another big example of a kind of fantasy that can both belong to high and historical fantasy is...


Fairytale fantasy

fairytale fantasy consists of retellings of old myths and legends, this is a very varied genre, consisting of things like snowwhite and the seven dwarfs, the grimm brothers and troy. Basically every story that is a retelling of an ancient story, or even several stories are part of this genre.
There is also a kind of fantasy that can belong to any kind of fantasy, namely...


Dark fantasy

Dark fantasy stands for fantasy that has grittier content then the usual idealized fantasy worlds, often containing elements of horror and representing the brutality of modern-day society, or just single individuals.
There are a lot more genre's I would like to talk about, like alternate history, low fantasy and dying earth fiction, but I don't want to bore you anymore, so, that was my presentation.
