Beginning in the sixth century C.E. and continuing for more than a thousand years, an extraordinary poetic practice was the trademark of a major literary movement in South Asia. Authors invented a special language to depict both the apparent and hidden sides of disguised or dual characters, and then used it to narrate India's major epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, simultaneously.Originally produced in Sanskrit, these dual narratives eventually worked their way into regional languages, especially Telugu and Tamil, and other artistic media, such as sculpture. Scholars have long dismissed simultaneous narration as a mere curiosity, if not a sign of cultural decline in medieval India. Yet Yigal Bronner's Extreme Poetry effectively negates this position, proving that, far from being a meaningless pastime, this intricate, "bitextual" technique both transcended and reinvented Sanskrit literary expression.The poems of simultaneous narration teased and estranged existing convention and showcased the interrelations between the tradition's foundational texts. By focusing on these achievements and their reverberations through time, Bronner rewrites the history of Sanskrit literature and its aesthetic goals. He also expands on contemporary theories of intertextuality, which have been largely confined to Western texts and practices.

Les jeux de mots peuvent être considérés comme un véritable phénomène d'interface. Ils apparaissent à la fois dans la communication "idienne et dans la littérature, et peuvent avoir des fonctions diverses: ils peuvent être distrayants et comiques, déguiser un sujet tabou ou encore influencer la manière dont on perçoit le caractère du locuteur. Une autre caractéristique fondamentale des jeux de mots est celle de servir à la réflexion sur la langue et sur la communication. Les jeux de mots font apparaître des caractéristiques du langage littéraire dans la communication "idienne, et incitent à analyser les œuvres littéraires selon une perspective linguistique. Les deux premiers volumes de la série The Dynamics of Wordplay visent à réunir des contributions linguistiques et littéraires sur les techniques du jeu de mots et ses relations aux innovations linguistiques en général. Ces réflexions sont complétées par une série d'études de cas qui analysent l'usage du jeu de mots chez différents auteurs et dans différents contextes historiques. Ainsi, partant de situations de communication très variées, les contributions permettent de reconsidérer la dynamique du jeu de mots dans toutes ses facettes.
