Descriere - Romanian words in Finnegans Wake (editie in limba engleza)
"ROMANIAN WORDS IN F "NNEGANS WAKE"
Joyce was acutely aware that Rumanian is a veryimportant Romance language, closer to Italian than either French or Spanish, a fact that most Anglo-Saxon FW scholars seem to be somewhat unaware of.
And Joyce's academic specialisation was indeed Italian Langue Civilisation. When I come to think of so many Joyce Foundation Presidents and Officials learning their very first three words of Italian on the plane, on the way to one Joyce Congress or another in Venice or Turin, Cesena or Trieste, I very much feel like jumping out of the window and going back home...(I do not quite understand why Rumanian as a language is often easilydismissed in Italian discussions, as I could find out for myself in my many years of teaching English in several places there...)
