fantasy developed in the late 1800;s. Here are some links, if you're interested. I'm sorry, but I'm on a computer where I don't have my really good links, but these would get someone started, if they wanted to do their own research. :)

The trouble, in my opinion, is that there seems to be some sort of desire on the part of the human psyche to believe that whatever times they are living in are the most dire and thus, the end times. The Greeks whined about how the youth of that day were dragging the world into chaos, just as parents today say about their own children. It's a human nature thing. Everybody always thinks the world is about to end. The dangerous thing about this thinking now is that we, as a species, really have the means to end human life.
