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 Wife of the Eastern Potentate

from: Idylls of the King (Facing p. 86) -  1911

This picture illustrates the line from Tennyson's " Vivien" idyll, later the "Merlin and Vivien" idyll:

Nor saw she save the King, who wrought the charm.
