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.

For the King
THERE was clamour of battle down in the plain, My Knight's heart laughed and laughed again. I would strike a blow for the King, My King. I picked a lance and a true steel sword, And rode where the flame of the battle roared About the face of the King. The shock of the charge was good to feel, The sway of the press, the swing of the steel! Under the eyes of the King. Many a brave Knight tottered dead. Many a false knight turned and fled From the side of a falling King. I fought my way thro’ the dying light, Where a broken banner hung in the fight Over a broken King. I won a bloody way to his side, I looked in his eyes—that were staring wide With the royal fear of a King. I saw him turn his charger’s head Riding away from his valiant dead That had died for a craven King. I tossed him a curse, and rode at the horde Of his gathering foes. I broke my sword; And my heart, and my heart, for love of the is My King!
