VISUALIZING CAMELOT
An Exhibition from the Collection of Alan Lupack and Barbara Tepa Lupack
At the University of Rochester
Visualizing Camelot, a library-wide exhibition that runs until early December, 2024, explores the diverse ways that the stories of King Arthur’s Camelot have been imagined, reimagined, and visualized—both in high culture (paintings, drawings, illustrated books) and in popular culture (film, toys, games, comic books, cartoons, dishware, product names, business logos, etc). More than 350 items, including numerous original works of art, are on display. The exhibition is free and open to all. There is also a digital version of the exhibition, which can be accessed at Welcome · Visualizing Camelot · RBSCP Exhibits (rochester.edu)
Among the fall events that will be held in conjunction with the exhibition is a series of lectures. On September 19, 2024, at 5:00 p.m., Dr. Dorsey Armstrong, professor at Purdue University and editor of the journal Arthuriana, will speak about “Questing after the Questing Beast: Representing the Beast Glatisant from the Middle Ages to the Modern Period.” Her presentation will be held on-site at the Robbins Library of Rush Rhees Library and will also be Zoomed (registration for the Zoom link: https://forms.gle/vGeGMsZTyVmwMkiUA). On October 24, 2024, internationally-acclaimed artist Anna-Marie Ferguson, illustrator of the Cassell edition of Malory’s Le Morte d’Arthur, will speak about “Illustrating the Arthurian Legends: A Conversation with Artist Anna-Marie Ferguson.” Held on-site at the Robbins Library of Rush Rhees Library, the presentation will also be Zoomed (registration for the Zoom link: https://forms.gle/7v33aDh3QXg4caYb9.)
The presentations are free and open to all. Please check back for other Visualizing Camelot fall events and activities. We hope that you will visit the exhibition and join us for some or all of the events!

“Questing after the Questing Beast: Representing the Beast Glatisant
from the Middle Ages to the Modern Period.”
Registration for Zoom link: https://forms.gle/vGeGMsZTyVmwMkiUA
Presented by Dr. Dorsey Armstrong, Professor at Purdue University
The Questing Beast (or the Beast Glatisant [Barking Beast])—a strange creature with the head and neck of a serpent, the body of a leopard, the haunches of a lion, and the feet of a hart—is the subject of quests by a number of Arthur’s knights, including King Pellinore, Sir Palamedes, and Sir Percival. Dr. Armstrong will explore the representations of the Questing Beast from the medieval to the modern.
Dr. Armstrong has written and lectured extensively on the Arthurian legends. Author of Gender and the Chivalric Community in Malory's Morte d'Arthur (2003) and a modern English translation of Malory's Morte Darthur (2009), she serves as Editor-in-Chief of Arthuriana and sits on the board of directors of TEAMS.
Dr. Armstrong’s presentation is the first of several fall events and lectures in conjunction with the Visualizing Camelot exhibition. Please check back for updates.
October 24, 2024, 5:00 p.m. EST. Robbins Library.

Internationally acclaimed author and Illustrator of Legend: the Arthurian Tarot and its accompanying book, A Keeper of Words, Anna-Marie Ferguson is also the illustrator of the 2010 Cassell edition of Malory’s Le Morte d’ Arthur. She holds the distinction of being the first woman artist ever to illustrate a complete Malory. Her interest in mythology and history is longstanding, and her art draws on the magic and legends of her birthplace in the historic New Forest of Southern England and the vast landscapes and natural beauty of Alberta, Canada, where she currently resides.
