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.

<emph rend="bold"><emph rend="indent3">  SAINT-GERMAIN-EN-LAYE </emph></emph>        1887-1895 THROUGH the green boughs, I hardly saw thy face They twined so close ; the sun was in mine eyes ; And now the sullen trees in sombre lace, Stand bare beneath the sinister, sad skies. O sun and summer ! Say, in what far night, The gold and green, the glory of thine head, Of bough and branch have fallen ? O, the white, Gaunt ghosts that flutter where thy feet have sped, Across the terrace, that is desolate, But rang then with thy laughter : ghost of thee, That holds its shroud up with most delicate Dead fingers ; and, behind, the ghost of me, Tripping fantastic with a mouth that jeers At roseal flowers of youth, the turbid streams Toss in derision down the barren years To Death, the Host of all our golden dreams.
