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.

Shepherds' Song By Nora Hopper " ALL alas and welladay " (Shepherds' say !) Stepping with a stealthy pace Past the place Where the idle lilies blow ! " Here Diana dreaming lay (Snow in snow !) Lay a-dreaming on a day Long ago." Few the prayers the shepherds say (Welladay!) Now Diana ends her chase, Giving place To a maid with softer eyes, Colder breast (Mystery of mysteries !) For her greatest gift, and best, Giving rest. "Now 190 Shepherds' Song " Now we thole," the shepherds say, " Shorter night and longer day. Shorter days Sweeter were : when in the nights Came a sudden press of lights : Came the shining of a face Far away. And we gave Diana praise For the passing of her face." " All alas and welladay," Shepherds say— " Maiden rule we still obey— Yet we loved the first maid best : Terror-pressed Though we fled by herne and hollow Fearing angry shafts to follow, Dead, we knew that we should rest On her breast." " All alas and welladay," Shepherds say, " Earth was green that now is grey : Auster dared not any day Beat or blow When 'mid lilies Dian lay (Snow in snow !) Lay a-dreaming on a day Long ago."
