Omschrijving
The first book-length study devoted to FromSoftware games, On Soulsring Worlds explores how the Dark Souls series and Elden Ring are able to reconcile extreme difficulty in both gameplay and narrative with broad appeal.
"If Dark Souls and Elden Ring deliver us ludic incomprehension, then Caracciolo delivers his customary analytical clarity. The book’s replay value promises to attract both gamers and academics, keeping all of our intellectual health bars high."
David Ciccoricco, author of Refiguring Minds in Narrative Media and Reading Network Fiction
Marco Caracciolo is Associate Professor of English and Literary Theory at Ghent University in Belgium. Drawing inspiration from cognitive science, the philosophy of mind, and the environmental humanities, his work explores the forms of experience afforded by narrative in literary fiction and video games. He is the author of several books, including most recently Contemporary Narrative and the Spectrum of Materiality (2023).
