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.

Sir Dagonet's Quest By F. B. Money-Coutts

I

KING MARK came riding, in great despite, Seeking Sir Tristram to slay, And chanced on a merry and courteous knight, But knew him not for that jesting wight Sir Dinadan, brave and gay.

II

As saddle to saddle they paced along, Hoving afar they saw Horses and knights in a gallant throng Under the forest shaw.

III

Said Dinadan, "Lo ! by yon cloth of gold Launcelot rides this way !" And Mark, like a man that shakes with cold, Said, "Launcelot here ? Then I cannot hold Longer with you to-day !" When 108 Sir Dagonet's Quest

IV

When Dinadan spied he might scarce abide For terror, he cried, "I see Sir Launcelot's shield ! On a silver field Three lions and lilies three !"

V

But he said it to shape a jest and jape, That cowardly King to school ; For lions and lilies emblazoned thrice He wist full well were the new device Of Dagonet, Arthur's fool.

VI

Now Mark had turned him about, to slip Back, like a snake, for fear ; But Dinadan rode to his fellowship, Who made of him passing cheer.

VII

He told them his craft and all agreed ; So Dagonet, armed to fight, Adventured his spear and spurred at speed, Crying, "Ho ! ye caitiff of Cornish breed ! Keep ye, ye craven knight !" Now By F. B. Money-Coutts 109

VIII

Now out, now in, through thick and through thin, Mark fled from that shield aghast ; Through thick and through thin, with dindle and din, Sir Dagonet followed fast !

IX

Then the knights chased after, with Ho ! and Yield ! And he ran like a rated hound ; And the cry rose high and the laughter pealed, Till wood and water and forest and field Rang with the noise and sound !
