Hi everyone,
I was wondering if someone could help me.
I am doing a PhD at the University of Edinburgh, Faculty of Music. My
thesis, although investigating the opera at the turn of the 19/20th
century, also deals with Italian literature at the time, in particular
with some members of the "letteratura tristina" (Silvio Benco for
example), and partially with James Joyce.
My question is, however, other than what I have just mentioned:
I was wondering if someone is more familiar with the works of James Joyce,
with his Ulysses especially. In a letter which Joyce sent to Benco, in
1927, he wrote the following comment:
"E mi scriva che cosa pensa di Madonna Circe e delle sue significazioni
non appena le urne urinarie lo permetteranno".
WHat does he mean?
Thanks very much for your help.
