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:
Underdown's Gateway to Chaucer includes marginal illustrations by Anderson on nearly every page.  Most of these illustrations depict small moments of the tale being told (for example, two women kneel, pleading, in the margins of the Knight's Tale when Emily, the queen, and the other ladies plead with Duke Theseus). 

The volume includes the Knight's Tale, the Man of Law's Tale, the Nun's Priest's Tale, the Wife of Bath's Tale, the Clerk's Tale, and the Franklin's Tale, as well as "interludes" that are generally drawn from the links between tales or from prologues.
