HIGH FANTASY
BY : GIANE PAULO E. BARGAMENTO
3RD YEAR BSED ENGLISH
WHAT IS HIGH 49

FANTASY ?
High fantasy (or epic fantasy) is a fantasy subgenre
 in which the story takes place in a setting very
unlike Earth and deals with world-threatening
forces. The story might feature fantastic creatures,
historic or unusual technologies, magical elements,
and other unearthly elements. High fantasy does
not need to incorporate Western fantasy tropes like
swords or dragons, though these are common
characteristics of the genre.

High fantasy resides underneath the larger

umbrella of the fantasy genre. Other types of
fantasy fiction include low fantasy, historical
fantasy, wuxia, urban fantasy, sword and sorcery,
and dark fantasy.

a main hero who must fight off the evil forces and
save the world.

CREATIVE
NONFICTION
Erica M. Pelera
 Creative Nonfiction 71

WHEN DID CREATIVE NONFICTION START?

According to a Poets & Writers article published in 2009, Lee Gutkind is often
credited with coining the term “creative nonfiction” as early as 1973, when he also
taught a course at the University of Pittsburgh with those same words in its title.

However, Gutkind himself has admitted that this wasn’t really the case, and that
he had heard the term before, but couldn’t remember where or from who.

Indeed, there is earlier written evidence of the term, as it appeared in a 1969

review by David Madden of Frank Conroy’s Stop-Time.

WHAT IS NONFICTION?
Creative nonfiction is a genre of writing that uses elements of creative writing to

The label “creative nonfiction” can be applied to a number of nonfiction genres,

including:
