Our editorial method is informed by social-text editing principles. By “text” we mean verbal and visual printed material, including non-referential physical elements such as bindings, page layouts, and ornaments. We view any text as the outcome of collaborative processes that have specific manifestations at precise historical moments. The Yellow Nineties Online publishes facsimile editions of a select collection of fin-de- siècle aesthetic periodicals, together with paratexts of production and reception such as cover designs, advertising materials, and reviews. This historical material is enhanced by two kinds of peer-reviewed scholarly commentary: biographies of the periodicals’ contributors and associates; and critical introductions to each title and volume by experts in the field. All scholarly material on the site is vetted by the editor(s) and peer- reviewed by them and/or an international board of advisors. The site as a whole is peer- reviewed by NINES (Networked Infrastructure for Nineteenth-Century Electronic Scholarship). Contributors to the site retain personal copyright in their material. The site is licensed with a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0 license. Both primary and secondary materials, including all visual images, are marked up in TEI- (Textual-Encoding Initiative) compliant XML (Extensible Markup Language). To ensure maximum flexibility for users, magazines are available on the site as virtual objects (facsimiles) in FlipBook form; in HTML for online reading; in PDF for downloading and collecting; and in XML for those who wish to review and/or adapt our tag sets. In order to make ornamental devices, such as initial letters, head- and tail- pieces, searchable, we have developed a Database of Ornament in OMEKA, and linked it to the relevant pages of each magazine edition. As a dynamic structure, a scholarly website is always in process; Phase One of The Yellow Nineties Online (2010-2015) is completed and Phase Two (2016-2021) is underway.

The Database of Ornament

I DREAMED at dawn that the world had spring, And the wild woods broke into blossoming. The primrose peeped in the hedge half seen, And the crocus burst from its sheath of green, The Lent-lilies sprang from the soft wet mould, And the cowslips burned in their coats of gold— And there came through the mist of the golden hours A song that I knew for the Song of the Flowers. 'O Soul that hast suffered and grieved full sore, Be glad, for lo! thou shalt grieve no more. In Death's soft sleep thou shalt dream, and we Make lovely the earth that covereth thee. No god of sorrow, as mortals fear, Is Death, who hath nor smile nor tear. A peace more deep than of Prayer he gives, And more than the peace of him that lives; A hush like the hush of the hills at noon, Of a tideless mere 'neath a frozen moon. No world-rumour fraught with any despair Shall pierce thy grave, to disturb thee there. Thou shalt not know, in that chamber lone, The shuddering sense of the sick man's moan—               68 No clamour of sword nor hammer of steel, Nor hustle of tempest and thunder-peal, Nor bay of hound nor blast of horn— But the Calm that was thine ere thou wast born.' I woke 'neath the morn with its grey chill face, And knew I must live and endure for a space.
