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.
