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 Rose By Henry W. Nevinson

(A mediaeval citizen speaks)

STEPHEN, clerk of Oxford town, Oh, the weary while he lies, Wrapt in his old college gown, Burning, burning till he dies ! And 'tis very surely said, He shall burn when he is dead, All aflame from foot to head. Stephen said he knew a rose— One and two, yea, roses three— Lovelier far than any those Which at service-time we see, Emblems of atonement done, And of Christ's belovèd One, And of Mary's mystic Son. Stephen 154 The Rose Stephen said his roses grew All upon a milk-white stem, Side by side together two, One a little up from them, Sweeter than the rose's breath, Rosy as the sun riseth, Warm beside ; that was his death. Stephen swore, as God knows well, Just to touch that topmost bud, He would give his soul to hell— Soul and body, bones and blood. Hell has come before he dies ; Burning, burning there he lies, But he neither speaks nor cries. Ah, what might those roses be ? Once, before the dawn was red, Did he wander out to see If the rose were still a-bed ? Did he find a rose-tree tall Standing by the garden wall ? Did he touch the rose of all ? Stephen, was it worth the pain, Just to touch a breathing rose ? Ah, to think of it again, Look, he smiles despite his throes. Did he dream that hell would be Years hereafter ? Now, you see, Hell is here, and where is she ? At By Henry W. Nevinson 155 At my word, through all his face Flames the infernal fire within, Mary, Mary, grant me grace, Still to keep my soul from sin ! Thanks to God, my rose was grown Not so sweet, but all my own, Not so fair, but mine alone.
