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.

<emph rend="bold"><emph rend="indent3">THE TRUANTS' HOLIDAY</emph></emph> COME, let us forth, Sibylla !  The brave day, See, ’s all a-quiver with its gold and blue ! Come, let us fly these paltry streets, and pay Our matin worship at some woodland shrine, Where yet the pearl’s on rose and eglantine   Not vainly there to sue From Nature’s absolution and grave peace Of town-bred weariness an hour or so’s release ! Oh !  what enchantment lures us !  The glad fields, The dappled woodland, the chaste, whispering stream ; Yea, every marvel which rare Nature yields Of colour, or perfume, or entangled sound, To those who awefully approach her ground ;—   Dear, how each joy doth seem This hour conspired t’ entrance us in some spell Of fairyland’s delight, no mortal song may tell ! What are these days we spend in curious toil, In hectic pleasure, and misname them life ? Ah !  what last gain shall London’s heart assoil For skies beclouded, Nature’s fragrant breath Made poisonous for us ; whilst, more grim than Death,   Amid the lonely strife, Goading us on from fatal hour to hour The brooding eyes of Care on her cowed victims lower ? Come, let us forth !  why heed pale Duty’s frown, If from th’ accustomed task our truant feet Turn wantonly, stale prisoners of the Town ? Come, come, let’s haste, ere yet a jealous fate 164    THE SAVOY On steps that falter shall cry out “Too late !” Nay, do not linger, Sweet ! Joy calls a-flying : whoso fears t’ obey her, May grieve the live-long day in vain attempt to stay her !
