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.

Rondeaux d'Amour By Dolf Wyllarde I BEFORE the night come, and the day expire, The blossoms redden with the sun's desire— Only the passion-flowers are colourless, Burnt up and wasted with their own excess, And tinted like the ashes of their fire. Look down and see the reddest rose aspire To touch your hand—he climbs the trellis-wire, Burning to reach your indolent caress, Before the night. Ah, Love, be wise ! for all too soon we tire, When once the longed-for guerdon we acquire. The wonder that we think not to possess, Once in our keeping, holds us less and less. Nay—let us love, nor all too much inquire, Before the night. During 88 Rondeaux d'Amour II During the night I felt you breathing deep Against my heart—and yet I did not weep With perfect passion !—fearing only this, One golden moment of the night to miss— The sacred night that was not made for sleep ! The stairs of life stretch upward, dim and steep, Midway between a grief and joy I creep— But let us just for once have tasted bliss, During the night. Strained to my breast I felt your pulses leap, And this is the remembrance I shall keep When all the serpents of oblivion hiss— Of two who only clung too close to kiss. We sowed in love—in passion do we reap, During the night. III After the night Love wearied of his powers, He fell asleep among the passion-flowers. I felt the darkness solemnly withdrawn. A dewy whiteness glimmered on the lawn, Day weeping for this dear dead night of ours. Vague By Dolf Wyllarde 89 Vague, greyish lights, that first had threatened showers, Deepened to golden, till the rosy hours Trembled with tender passion to the dawn, After the night. Wan in the daylight looked our crystal towers, Rising above the blossom-tinted bowers. The world looked strangely on us in the morn. Love shuddered in his sleep as one forsworn— Poor Love ! who trembles at himself, and cowers, After the night.
