The Times Literary Supplement
The Times Literary Supplement ( TLS for short ) is a weekly British literary magazine published in London by News International , a publisher of the News Corporation group .
history
The magazine first appeared as a supplement to the Times in 1902 , but became independent in 1914. Both media have been working together to this day. The online version of TLS is hosted by The Times and its editorial offices are based in Times House on London's Pennington Street.
The staff included writers such as B. TS Eliot , Henry James, and Virginia Woolf . Until June 7, 1974, however, the reviews appeared anonymously. Before starting his writing career, Martin Amis was a member of the editorial team. Philip Larkin's poem Aubade first appeared in the Christmas 1977 edition of TLS . Although long considered one of the leading literary critical publications in the world, it was not infallible. For example, she completely ignored James Joyce .
TLS also found its way into the English-language literature. One of the most profound mentions can be found in Samuel Beckett's novel Molloy (1953), which states:
“… In winter, under my greatcoat, I wrapped myself in swathes of newspaper, and did not shed them until the earth awoke, for good, in April. The Times Literary Supplement was admirably adapted to this purpose, of a never failing toughness and impermeability. Even farts made no impression on it. "
TLS awards a book prize, the Senior Information Award.
