Blurbs below from Henry Jenkins and Ian Bogost:

"Andrew Burn’s rich and nuanced new book offers a meditation on the relationship between games and literature, considering what gets learned when students interpret classic works such as Beowulf and Macbeth through computer games. Along the way, he maps an ambitious and eclectic conceptual framework from multimodal analysis. This book makes valuable contributions to our understanding of the nature of literacies (old and new)." Henry Jenkins, Provost Professor of Communication, Journalism, Cinematic Arts and Education at the University of Southern California.

“Scholars, creators, critics, and consumers of media divide their attention into categories that feel natural—film, book, game. But the walls between them are also arbitrary. In this book, Andrew Burn demolishes and rebuilds them, showing how all media are made of play, and play can become a new lens for teaching, understanding, and enjoying them.” Ian Bogost, Ivan Allen College Distinguished Chair in Media Studies and Professor of Interactive Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
