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.

The Lady of the Lake Steals Lancelot


This picture illustrates the lines from Tennyson's "Lancelot and Elaine" idyll:

Lancelot, whom the Lady of the Lake
Stole from his mother--as the story runs--

(changed in later editions to:
Lancelot, whom the Lady of the Lake
Caught from his mother's arms--the wondrous one . . .)
