From the vast world of games, the book?s focus is on board and card games, with reference to physical games, sports and digital games as well. Considering culture, society, politics and metaphysics, the author uses examples from various places around the world and from ancient times to the present to demonstrate how games and gaming can offer the historian an alternative, often very valuable and sometimes unique path to the past. The book offers a thorough discussion of conceptual and material approaches to games as sources, while also providing the reader with a theoretical starting point for further study within specific thematic chapters. The book concludes with three case studies of different types of games and how they can be considered as historical sources: the gladiatorial games, chess and the digital game Civilization.
Offering an alternative approach to the study of history through its focus on games and gaming as historical sources, this is the ideal volume for students considering different types of sources and how they can be used for historical study, as well as students who study games as primary or secondary sources in their history projects.
'Games of History is a fascinating, thoughtful and sweeping tour of the cultural function of games throughout history. Taking a broad historical and global sweep of games and gaming, Spanos thinks through the ludic value and the important societal contributions made by games and games concepts throughout society.'
Andrew Elliott, University of Lincoln, UK
