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.

Dorigen's Promise

by: Suky Best (Author)

Publisher Location: London
Publisher Name: Festerman Press
Publication Date: 1997
Additional Information:
This volume is a retelling of the Franklin's Tale primarily through photographs.  The text appears in one or two short lines on each page, and the majority of the page is a photo collage, often made up of disjointed facial features.  (One page, for example, features three images of Dorigen's lips, each image separated from the others by a white border.)  Several pages feature a landscape image;  there is a full-page image of the coastline, for example, and the tale ends with a pink and orange sunset.  This modernization is a unique reimagining of the Franklin's narrative.
