Thorburn received a bachelor's degree from Princeton and an MA and PhD from Stanford and taught at Yale.〔 A student, Thomas E. Ricks, described Professor Thorburn as a challenging and thought-provoking teacher, remembering that one of his challenges——to tell why Mickey Spillane's ''I, the Jury'' was ''not'' a great novel——was one of the "best assessments" he ever got during his studies there.〔Thomas E. Ricks, April 20, 2009, The Washington Post, (Outlook: Shut Down West Point, Annapolis, Air Force Academy ), Accessed Aug. 22, 2013, ''...Prof. David Thorburn ...

H. Lawrence, and James Joyce as well as later writers such as John Updike. His fiction anthology entitled ''Initiation; stories and short novels on three themes'' became a popular source for high school and college students.
