One thing I've noticed about all the really good fantasy literature is that it reinforces the idea of monarchy. From Lord of the Rings to Book of the New Sun, there's a sense that a wise and good king is the solution to most of the problems in the book; Severian even justifies monarchy from a political-philosophical perspective in BOTNS.

Could it be said, then, that fantasy is a reactionary genre? This is one of the reasons Moorecock hates most fantasy, after all.
