In a cozy corner of the drawing room, Mr. Collins, Delly's private English tutor, engaged in a passionate conversation with her parents, William and Catherine. The fire crackled in the hearth, casting a warm glow on the rich tapestries that adorned the walls.
Mr. Collins, with a twinkle in his eye, began by invoking the spirit of medieval times, where grammar schools laid the foundation for a rigorous education. He spoke of the Canterbury Tales, the poetic masterpiece of Geoffrey Chaucer, and how it encapsulated the vibrancy and diversity of English society in that era.
"As we journey through the annals of English literature," Mr. Collins mused, "we shall not only immerse Delly in the beauty of Chaucer's verse but also traverse the intricate works of William Shakespeare." He envisioned bringing the Bard's plays to life, allowing Delly to revel in the timeless tales of love, tragedy, and the human condition.
Catherine listened intently, a thoughtful expression gracing her features, while William nodded in agreement. The tutor's enthusiasm was contagious, and the prospect of Delly experiencing the richness of literature from its roots fascinated them.
As the conversation unfolded, Mr. Collins unveiled his plans to delve into the 18th-century novels that marked the advent of a new literary era. He spoke of the brilliance of Jane Austen and the profound social commentary embedded in the works of authors like Samuel Richardson and Henry Fielding.
"The importance of cultivating a cohesive understanding of the English language is important for Delly, I think you understand. My view is that learning poetry before learning novels and short stories will enhance her comprehension. If you can't extrapolate the key words from a, say, 100 word poem, how can you possibly grasp that of a 100-page story?"
The discussion, punctuated by the occasional crackle of the fire, painted a vivid picture of an educational journey that transcended the conventional. William and Catherine, captivated by Mr. Collins' vision, embraced the idea of offering Delly a unique and enriching exploration of English literature—one that echoed through the corridors of time.
