Robbins Library Digital Projects Announcement: We are currently working on a large-scale migration of the Robbins Library Digital Projects to a new platform. This migration affects The Camelot Project, The Robin Hood Project, The Crusades Project, The Cinderella Bibliography, and Visualizing Chaucer.

While these resources will remain accessible during the course of migration, they will be static, with reduced functionality. They will not be updated during this time. We anticipate the migration project to be complete by Summer 2025. 

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us directly at robbins@ur.rochester.edu. We appreciate your understanding and patience.

Geraint Slays Earl Doorm

by: Gustave DorĂ© (Artist) from: Enid -  1868

This picture illustrates the lines from Tennyson's "Enid" idyll (later "Geraint and Enid"):

Shore thro' the swarthy neck, and like a ball
The russet-bearded head rolled on the floor.
So died Earl Doorm by him he counted dead.

[Note: Although the last two lines are still extant in "Geraint and Enid," the first line did not survive the revision from the 1859 "Enid" to "Geraint and Enid."]
