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.

Additional Information:
Darton's text here is essentially the same as that of the 1914 Story of the Canterbury Pilgrims illustrated by M. L. Kirk; however, Thomson's illustrations are black-and-white pen sketches, rather than the color illustrations rendered by Kirk.  Several of them are on the same topic - Thomson's version also features an illustration of the Pardoner with his cakes, for example - but many others are different.  Further, Thomson includes headpieces at the start of each tale in addition to his full page sketches.
