(Heroic) Fantasy and the Middle Ages – Strange Bedfellows or an Ideal Cast? by Thomas Honegger

“…The (popularly conceived) Middle Ages and (heroic) fantasy share a number of characteristics, such as settings in pre-technological and pre-bureaucratic worlds where men were not yet alienated from their fellow human beings and where things were more “authentic”.
