Modern fantasy can be divided into five main types:

High Fantasy
This is fantasy concerned wholly with another world, usually one with unique places and intelligent races besides humans, although this is not a requirement. In High Fantasy, no link exists between the fantastic world and ours; the stories simply take place in the lands of the author’s imagination. Lloyd Alexander’s Prydain and Ursula LeGuin’s Earthsea are good examples of high fantasy. This website will mainly concern itself with this, the "purest" form of fantasy.

Crossover Fantasy
This type of fantasy involves people from our world traveling to a fantastic place or, very rarely, people from that fantastic place coming to ours. The fantastic places that the heroes travel to usually have much in common with the worlds in High Fantasy; that is, they are magical and self-sufficient lands where magic is used and various fantastic creatures exist. Good examples of Crossover Fantasy are C.S. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia and Michael Ende’s The Neverending Story (1979). Many examples of Crossover Fantasy are present in this website. This type of fantasy also includes fantasy which involves people in this world finding fantastic objects or fantastic creatures.

Dream Fantasy
This type of fantasy is usually presented by the author as a dream. It is often very strange and usually allegorical. A good example of Dream Fantasy is George MacDonald’s Phantastes (1858). Dream Fantasy will not be discussed in this website.

Traveling Fantasy
This type of fantasy is similar to the "traveler’s tails" discussed elsewhere. While it usually contains some fantastic creatures/places, this type of fantasy lacks magic and is altogether too "normal" to be included here. Examples include Edgar Rice Burroughs’ At the Earth’s Core (1922) and Charles Derennes’ Le Peuple du Póle (1907).

Science Fiction Fantasy
This type of fantasy is not to be confused with straight science fiction. Stories in this vein take place on other planets or in the far future, usually after an atomic war. It is sometimes very hard to distinguish between Science Fiction Fantasy and straight science fiction; attempts has been made to distinguish between the two in the material on this site. An excellent example Andre Norton’s Witch World (1963).

These types, obviously, are often very blurry; there are no solid lines in fantasy. For now, just relax and enjoy the site.

            现代的奇幻主要分为以下5种类型:

完全的奇幻
这种类型的奇幻完全发生在另一个世界.在那个世界上有一些独特的地方和一些人类以外的智慧种族(虽然不是必须的).此类中的奇幻世界和我们的世界完全没有任何联系;故事仅仅发生在作者想象中的大陆上.象Lloyd Alexander 的 Prydain 和 Ursula LeGuin 的 Earthsea就是此类奇幻的最好例子。本网站主要是关于这种“纯粹”意义上的奇幻。

交叉类的奇幻
这种类型的奇幻通常描写主角从我们的世界旅行到奇幻的世界,或从奇幻的世界来到我们的世界(很少)。而主角所到的奇幻世界的描写通常和上一类奇幻中的非常类似:在一块充满魔力的大陆上,魔法和奇幻生物横行。此类奇幻最好的例子莫过于 C.S. Lewis的The Chronicles of Narnia 和 Michael Ende的 The Neverending Story (1979). 在本网站中你也可以找到很多此类奇幻. 而主角在世界上寻找某样奇幻物品或某种奇幻生物也属于这种类型。

梦的奇幻
这种类型的奇幻通常被作者描述为一个梦。这种类型的奇幻通常非常奇异并且具有寓言的意味。 George MacDonald 的Phantastes (1858)就是此类奇幻的一个很好例子. 在本网站中我们将不讨论此类奇幻。

旅行类的奇幻
这种类型的奇幻和其他地方所说的"traveler’s tails"很类似。在此类奇幻中虽然也包括了一些奇幻生物和奇异的地方,但缺少魔法的描写,总的来说太普通了,我们没有把这种奇幻包括在这里。象Edgar Rice Burroughs的At the Earth’s Core (1922)和Charles Derennes的Le Peuple du Póle(1907)就是此类的例子.

科学幻想类奇幻
不要把这种类型的奇幻和一般意义的科幻相混淆。此类奇幻的故事通常发生在另一个行星上或很久以后的未来,在核战以后。有时你很难把他和一般的科幻区别开来。而在本网站上我们试图从原材料上区分这两类。而Andre Norton的 Witch World (1963)就是此类奇幻的一个很好例子.

很显然,这些类型非常模糊,通常在他们之间并没有固定的划分。好了,现在,让我们放轻松点,好好享受一下本网站为您提供的杰作吧。

            好快~tongue.gif

我在想那个traveler's tails会不会是traveler's tales的误拼?
另外,high fantasy直接叫“纯奇幻”怎么样……

TOP

            恩,好很多也
我也想过,多半是笔误吧,但我还是放上来了

            high fantasy有个译名称为严肃奇幻

哦哦~这篇也看过。因为觉得上文的分类里的标准主要是以超自然能力的比例为z准,所以就干脆叫“纯奇幻”了,倒没想到会和灰鹰的起冲突……--b

            哈,大家都在谈分类,其实分类法可以有很多中,我也来凑个热闹,下面是国外的某位专业评论者在评论时利用的一个分类:

1、EPIC FANTASY(史诗式奇幻)
Right there's this stable boy, but really he's going to be King. There's this local oddball, he's really a Wizard. Before you can shout "Orcs are coming", we are off on a quest.
例如:
The Fionavar Tapestry
The Lord Of The Rings
Memory, Sorrow And Thorn
The Sword Of Truth
The Wheel Of Time

2、ALTERNATE WORLDS (架空世界)
The are other worlds, alternate histories, neither better or worse than our own.
例如:
The Silmarillion
The Liveship Traders

3、HISTORICAL (历史)
Forget inventing worlds when there are worlds just as strange in our own history.
例如:
The Lions Of Al-Rassan
A Song For Arbonne
Tigana

4、REAL WORLD(现实世界)
例如:
Skallagrigg

5、KINGS AND QUEENS(王室)
例如:
The Farseer Trilogy
Heirs Of Saint Camber

6、PURE FANTASY
Pure Fantasy isn't a real term I made it up to disguise that this section covers books designed for younger readers. What is special about these books are that they are still as enjoyable when you are less young. Honest.
例如:
The Last Unicorn
The Hobbit

7、HUMOUR(幽默)
Aren't Elves, Dwarves and Wizards funny? Well they are know.
例如:
Discworld
Bored Of The Rings
