Thesis (Ph.D.)--Princeton University, 2003.

In our age of "little Latin and less Greek" it is difficult to appreciate the importance of a classical education in the English Renaissance. John Donne, perhaps the most gifted scholar of his age, internalized his classical education so thoroughly that he calls upon it at will and disguises it with ease. Of all the classical authors, Horace has the most profound influence on Donne. Horace's influence is such that it is most useful to see Donne's poetic career as essentially "Horatian." Donne's body of work encompasses all the Horatian genres (satire, verse epistle, mock epic, and odes) and Horace's influence informs Donne's achievement in each of these modes.

520 $a In our age of "little Latin and less Greek" it is difficult to appreciate the importance of a classical education in the English Renaissance. John Donne, perhaps the most gifted scholar of his age, internalized his classical education so thoroughly that he calls upon it at will and disguises it with ease. Of all the classical authors, Horace has the most profound influence on Donne. Horace's influence is such that it is most useful to see Donne's poetic career as essentially "Horatian." Donne's body of work encompasses all the Horatian genres (satire, verse epistle, mock epic, and odes) and Horace's influence informs Donne's achievement in each of these modes.
520 $a In their satires both Horace and Donne engage with the exigencies of a patronage society. Paradox is the way in which they do this safely, for it is only through ironic indirection that poetry can speak the truth. Paradox is at heart the violent yoking together of heterogeneous things. As such, it serves as the perfect mechanism to articulate the deep contradictions of life in a patronage society. Both Donne and Horace use satire to demonstrate the pitfalls of such a life and to provide a way out. In Horace this way is found through philosophical contemplation in which desire is moderated by wisdom, while for Donne's such control of the extremes of passion comes through reliance on God's ultimate power.
520 $a Although less obvious, the influence of Horace on Donne continues in the lyric poems. Unlike the satirist, the lyric poet lives in the world of the self, retired from the active life that Horace calls the negotium to the leisure of otium, a contemplative existence. Here, patron, court and ruler are subservient to the poet's power.
520 $a Both poets, finally, are concerned with the problem of how to define virtue in a patronage society. Both poets explore the juxtaposition between the public self and the private self. For Horace the possibility of human happiness lies in Augustus's deification and the return of a golden age, while for Donne the golden time comes when the soul can converse freely with God.
