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.

Two Songs By Charles Sydney I MY love is selfish and unfair, Her kisses fall so thick and fast, That while I wait to give my share, The priceless time is past. And I have been to blame till now, For I have let her do her will ; I thought it courteous to allow My love to take her fill, Trusting a time would quickly be, When she would stay and look for mine ; But having borne it patiently, I will no longer pine. I'll fold her in my arms to-night, And justice on her lips I'll wreak : I'll teach my love to know the right, And not oppress the meek ! BEAR 190 Two Songs II BEAR thyself with formal gait, Be thy language all sedate ; Thy opinions take on trust, Take gold for thy only lust. Shun belief devout or deep, Ever to the safe side keep ; Let thy hollow laugh be framed To the joke by all acclaimed. Never for pure charity Level a disparity ; Farm thy favour to a fool, Make his gratitude thy tool. Let thy conscience be a thing Like a clock to go, and ring Just that time the hour doth mark. Let some other light the dark ! Friend and wife a bargain buy There where state and money lie ; Claim a goodly cenotaph, Buy a lying epitaph !
