Re-examining critical assumptions about the reading experience of epic fantasy, this work explores the genre’s reputation for flowery, archaic language and its ability to create a sense of wonder. Ultimately, it argues that epic fantasy shapes the way people think, examining how literary representation and style influence perception.
