The suggestion that Eliot was inspired by James Joyce’s Ulysses was first made by Giorgio Melchiori. How do you justify this as being the first. You say first definitively. What does Joyce say about it and when?.

I think the part of your answer on the Joyce accusation, may be open to legitimate challenge. That Pound had to talk Eliot out of a toilet scene speaks volumes to the direct line from Joyce to Eliot.

By "first" I mean "earliest that I was able to find (by tracing citation chains backwards)" You should say that.
