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.

Pro Patria By B. Paul Neuman LAND of the white cliff and the circling ocean, Land of the strong, the valiant and the free, Well may thy proud sons with their hearts' devotion Seek to repay the debt they owe to thee. Thou givest them health, the muscle and the vigour, The steady poise of body and of mind, The heart that chills not 'neath an Arctic rigour, Nor droops before the scorching desert wind. Thou givest them fame, a thousand memories leaping Into the light whene'er thy name is spoken, Thy heroes from their graven marbles keeping Their faithful watch o'er thee and thine unbroken. Thou givest them rugged honesty unbending, The heart of honour and the lip of truth, Quick-answering impulse, freely, gladly spending The strength of manhood with the zeal of youth. A noble By B. Paul Neuman 227 A noble heritage ! and I might claim it, Whose life within thy very heart awoke, But yet the prayer, whenever I would frame it, Died on my lips before the words outbroke ; Though kin of mine are lying where the grasses Bow to the west wind by the Avon's side, And daily o'er their graves the shadow passes Of that fair church where Shakespeare's bones abide. For far away beyond the waste of waters There lies another, a forsaken land, A land that mourns her exiled sons and daughters Whose graves are strewn on every alien strand ; A land of splendour, but of desolation, Of glory, but a glory passed away, Her hill-sides peopled with a buried nation, Her fruitful plains the lawless wanderer's prey. Yet dearer even than the hills and valleys That wear the mantle of our English green, By whose glad ways the mountain brooklet sallies, Are those far heights that I have never seen ; White Hermon glistening in the morning glory, Dark Sinai with its single cypress tree, Green Tabor, and that rugged promontory Whence Carmel frowns upon the laughing sea. This 228 Pro Patria This is the land of hope without fruition, Of prophecies no welcome years fulfil, While bound upon their dreary pilgrim mission The heirs of promise lack their birthright still. Yet not the whole, for hope remains undying, And such the hopes that gather round thy name, Dear land, it were indeed a new denying, To set before thee, riches, power, or fame. A little longer, and the habitations Of exile shall re-echo to thy call, " Return, my children, from among the nations, Forget the years of banishment and thrall." Then shall the footsteps of the sons of Kedar Cease from the silent wastes of Gilead, No ruthless hand shall raze the oak and cedar Wherewith its swelling uplands once were clad. No longer shall the thief and the marauder The peaceful tillers of the soil molest, But from rough Argob on the eastern border To sea-washed Jaffa, all the land shall rest. Land of the prophets, in the prophet's vision Thy future glory far transcends thy woes, And soon, in spite of hatred and derision, Thy wilderness shall blossom as the rose.
