Abstract

The genre trends of Polish fantasy have changed over the years. It wasn’t until the 1980s that western fantasy translations appeared in Poland, which had a huge impact on Polish authors. Despite the dominance of Tolkien’s pattern, Polish fantasy followed its own path; new subgenres developed an were closely related to Polish culture and history or inspired by Slavic folklore. The objective
of this article is to present the fantasy genres which were the most popular until 2012 and to compare two questionnaires, from 2012 and from January 2020, that show changes in fantasy reading in Poland.

Keywords:

genres, Polish fantasy, Slavic folklore, Polish history
