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 Sonnets from Petrarch By Richard Garnett, LL.D., C.B. I—Laura Weeping WHERE'ER I shift my weary eyes, to know If ancient charm by new may be dispelled, They see but her whom whilom they beheld, And urge rekindling fires to deeper glow. Conjunction of sweet ruth and lovely woe Enthrals the gentle heart ; nor thus compelled The eye alone, but ear is captive held, Haunted by thrilling speech and sighings low. And Love and Truth affirm with me that sight So exquisite as mine was seen of none By splendour of the day or starry light ; Nor plaint so musical e'er broke upon The ear of man ; or shower of drops so bright From eyes so fair e'er sparkled to the sun. Love 168 Sonnets from Petrarch

II—She should have Died Hereafter !

LOVE had at length a tranquil port displayed To travailed soul, long vexed by toil and teen, In calm maturity, where naked seen Is Vice, and Virtue in fair garb arrayed. Bare to her eyes my heart should now be laid, Disquieted no more their peace serene— O Death, what harvest of long years hath been Ruin by thee in one brief moment made ! The hour when unreproved I might invoke Her chaste ear's favour, and disburden there My breast of fond and ancient thought, drew nigh And she, perchance, considering as I spoke, Each bloomless face and either's silvered hair, Some blessed word had uttered with a sigh.
