Abstract or Introduction
Books like Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter by Joanne K. Rowling were sold more or almost as often as the bible, whereby they are counted among the all-time bestsellers list (Brown). Furthermore they have been translated into various languages, in the case of Harry Potter “61 different languages, including Icelandic, Serbo-Croat, Vietnamese, Hebrew, Swahili, Ukrainian, and Afrikaans [. . .]” (Brown). Hence the fantasy-genre enjoys great popularity.
The arising question is how people’s enthusiasm becomes apparent? Has the manner of doing this changed? If so, for what reason has it been altered? These questions will be followed in this essay.
