ALBERT S. COOK, EDITOR LVIII HORACE IN THE ENGLISH LITERATURE OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY BY CAROLINE GOAD אורים TLT VERITAS A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF YALE UNIVERSITY IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY 1916 NEW HAVEN YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS LONDON: HUMPHREY MILFORD OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS MDCCCCXVIII 1918 is responsible; otherwise all square brackets contain my own explanatory remarks. Allusions to English translations or imitations of Horace's writings will be found under the Section, Direct Mention of Horace. To the Appendix of each author is prefixed a bibliography, which includes only those writings of the author in which I have found allusions to Horace. In the case of Steele, for instance, whose works have not been published collectively, it would have been unnecessarily tedious to give a complete list of his separate writings, in many of which there is no reference to Horace. The place of publication is given only when it is other than London. The expression curiosa felicitas, used by Petronius as descriptive of Horace, I have incorporated as a Horatian phrase; for it has been adopted by all critics of Horace, and its prevailing use is to suggest the peculiar attribute which Horace possessed pre-eminently. I desire to acknowledge my deep indebtedness to Professor Albert Stanburrough Cook, who suggested this work, and who by his unfailing inspiration and encouragement has guided it to its completion. Toronto, Canada, May, 1918. CAROLINE GOAD. |
