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.

They Came to See The Lady of Shalott

from: The Lady of Shalott -  1881

"Under tower and balcony,
By garden-wall and gallery, 
A gleaming shape she floated by,
Dead-pale between the houses high,
                                        Silent into Camelot.
Out upon the wharfs they came, 
Knight and burgher, lord and dame, 
ANd round the prow they read her name, 
                                        The Lady of Shalott."
