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.

Children of the Mist By Rosamund Marriott-Watson THE cold airs from the river creep About the murky town, The spectral willows, half-asleep, Trail their long tresses down Where the dim tide goes wandering slow, Sad with perpetual ebb and flow. The great blind river, cold and wide, Goes groping by the shore, And still where water and land divide He murmurs evermore The overword of an old song, The echo of an ancient wrong. There is no sound 'twixt stream and sky, But white mists walk the strand, Waifs of the night that wander by, Wraiths from the river-land— While here, beneath the dripping trees, Stray other souls more lost than these. Voiceless 282 Children of the Mist Voiceless and visionless they fare, Known all too well to me— Ghosts of the years that never were, The years that could not be— And still, beneath the eternal skies The old blind river gropes and sighs.
