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.

An Autumn Elegy By C. W. Dalmon Now it is fitting, and becomes us all To think how fast our time of being fades. The Year puts down his mead-cup, with a sigh, And kneels, deep in the red and yellow glades, And tells his beads like one about to die ; For, when the last leaves fall, He must away unto a bare, cold cell In white St. Winter's monastery ; there To do hard penance for the joys that were, Until the New Year tolls his passing-bell. And 'tis in vain to whisper, " Be of cheer, There is a resurrection after death ; When Autumn tears will turn to Spring-time rain, As through the earth the Spirit quickeneth Toward the old, glad Summer-life again ! " He will not smile to hear, But only look more sorrowful, and say, " How can you mock me if you love me ? No ; The day draws very nigh when I must go ; The new will be the new ; I pass away." Yet, The Yellow Book—Vol. IV. P 248 An Autumn Elegy Yet, kneeling with him, still more sad than he, I saw him once turn round and smile as sweet As in the happy rose and lily days, When, from between the stubble of the wheat, A skylark soared up through the clouds to praise The sun's eternity. Hope seemed to flash a moment in his eyes ; And, knowing him so well, I know he thought— " How fair the legend through the ages brought, That still to live is Death's most sweet surprise ! "
