The ABC of Epic Fantasy: Swords and Sorcery
While Sword and Sorcery is considered a separate genre in fantasy, swords and sorcery often appear in epic fantasy, often because the chosen setting has a medieval vibe.
Wikipedia describes Sword and Sorcery as: “a subgenre of fantasy characterized by sword-wielding heroes engaged in exciting and violent adventures. Elements of romance, magic, and the supernatural are also often present. Unlike works of high fantasy, the tales, though dramatic, focus on personal battles rather than world-endangering matters.”
Do you think there is a clear distinction between Sword and Sorcery and Epic Fantasy set in medieval settings?
