On the Definition and Value of Fantasy Novels in Modern Times
As an novel and independent modern storytelling genre,modern fantasy novels,like science fiction,are a branch of fantasy literature.They are initially formed under the impact of mythological revival and anti rationalist trends,and ex-hibit unique literary connotations and artistic values.After more than a hundred years of evolution,they have achieved re-markable outcomes,but the theoretical construction related to them has always been relatively weak,and their genre defini-tion and value judgment still lack a relatively objective cognition and evaluation.In fact,when determining the genre boundaries of modern fantasy novel,we should not only trace their origins,but also observe their development.In addition,their birth and prosperity also symbolize another turn in modern culture.In the process of merging with popular culture,they not only present an artistic charm that is different from previous novels,but also provide a new path and perspective for criticizing modern civilization.
