Time and tide
Time and Tide was a British journal focusing on politics and literature, published from 1920 to 1979 and 1984 to 1986. The magazine was published weekly until 1970, then monthly and finally quarterly. The magazine was founded by Margaret Mackworth, Viscountess Rhondda , a wealthy British feminist and a member of the British nobility. Mackworth remained the owner of the magazine until her death in 1958 and also served as its editor from 1926 until her death.
history
The magazine initially represented left-wing liberal views and advocated resolutely women's rights; the political attitude of the paper later changed in line with the political views of the respective owner. Throughout the entire period of publication, however, the promotion of literary talent remained a focus.
Time and Tide didn't sell very well and never exceeded 14,000 copies. The magazine only survived until the late 1950s because Margaret Mackworth subsidized the magazine out of her private fortune. After her death, the owners changed in quick succession, each slightly changing the focus of the magazine and adjusting the rhythm of publication. The last owner in the years 1984–1986 was Sidgwick and Jackson , a company of the Trust House Forte group and was published quarterly by Alexander Chancellor during this time . In 1986 the magazine was finally discontinued.

The collaboration with CS Lewis was particularly close . In 1940 he published his first essay, "The Necessity of Chivalry" (The Necessity of Chivalric Virtues). This began a relationship with the literary scholar and author that lasted more than 20 years, which among other things led to the publication of one of the first reviews of the first part of JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings in 1954 in Time and Tide .
