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 Waking of Spring By Olive Custance SPIRIT of Spring, thy coverlet of snow Hath fallen from thee, with its fringe of frost, And where the river late did overflow Sway fragile white anemones, wind-tost, And in the woods stand snowdrops, half asleep, With drooping heads—sweet dreamers so long lost. Spirit, arise ! for crimson flushes creep Into the cold grey east, where clouds assemble To meet the sun : and earth hath ceased to weep. Her tears tip every blade of grass, and tremble, Caught in the cup of every flower. O Spring ! I see thee spread thy pinions, they resemble Large delicate leaves, all silver-veined, that fling Frail floating shadows on the forest sward ; And all the birds about thee build and sing ! Blithe By Olive Custance 117 Blithe stranger from the gardens of our God, We welcome thee, for one is at thy side Whose voice is thrilling music, Love, thy Lord, Whose tender glances stir thy soul, whose wide Wings wave above thee, thou awakened bride !
