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.

My Study By Alfred Hayes LET others strive for wealth or praise Who care to win ; I count myself full blest, if He, Who made my study fair to see, Grant me but length of quiet days To muse therein. Its walls, with peach and cherry clad, From yonder wold Unbosomed, seem as if thereon September sunbeams ever shone ; They make the air look warm and glad When winds are cold. Around its door a clematis Her arms doth tie ; Through leafy lattices I view Its endless corridors of blue Curtained with clouds ; its ceiling is The marbled sky. A verdant 276 My Study A verdant carpet smoothly laid Doth oft invite My silent steps ; thereon the sun With silver thread of dew hath spun Devices rare the warp of shade, The weft of light. Here dwell my chosen books, whose leaves With healing breath The ache of discontent assuage, And speak from each illumined page The patience that my soul reprieves From inward death ; Some perish with a season's wind, And some endure ; One robes itself in snow, and one In raiment of the rising sun Bordered with gold ; in all I find God's signature. As on my grassy couch I lie, From hedge and tree Musicians pipe ; or if the heat Subdue the birds, one crooneth sweet Whose labour is a lullaby The slumbrous bee. The By Alfred Hayes 277 The sun my work doth overlook With searching light ; The serious moon, the flickering star, My midnight lamp and candle are; A soul unhardened is the book Wherein I write. There labouring, my heart is eased Of every care ; Yet often wonderstruck I stand, With earnest gaze but idle hand, Abashed for God Himself is pleased To labour there. Ashamed my faultful task to spell, I watch how grows The Master's perfect colour-scheme Of sunset, or His simpler dream Of moonlight, or that miracle We name a rose. Dear Earth, one thought alone doth grieve— The tender dread Of parting from thee ; as a child, Who painted while his father smiled, Then watched him paint, is loth to leave And go to bed.
