''The Times Literary Supplement'' (or ''TLS'', on the front page from 1969) is a weekly literary review published in London by News UK, a subsidiary of News Corp. ==History== The ''TLS'' first appeared in 1902 as a supplement to ''The Times'', but became a separate publication in 1914. Many distinguished writers have been contributors, including T. S. Eliot, Henry James, and Virginia Woolf, but reviews were normally anonymous until 1974. From 1974, signed reviews were gradually introduced during the editorship of John Gross. This aroused great controversy at the time. “Anonymity had once been appropriate when it was a general rule at other publications, but it had ceased to be so,” Gross said. “In addition I personally felt that reviewers ought to take responsibility for their opinions.” Martin Amis was a member of the editorial staff early in his career. Philip Larkin's poem ''Aubade'', effectively his final poetic work, was first published in the Christmas-week issue of the ''TLS'' in 1977. While it has long been regarded as one of the world's pre-eminent critical publications, its history is not without gaffes. For instance, the publication missed James Joyce entirely and commented only negatively on Lucian Freud from 1945 until 1978, when a portrait of his appeared on the cover.〔"20.07.11 London W11," ''Times Literary Supplement'', July 29, 2011: 3.〕 The ''TLS'' cooperates closely with ''The Times''; its online version is hosted on the ''Times'' website, and its editorial offices are based in Times House, Pennington Street, London. The current editor is Peter Stothard, a former editor of ''The Times'' itself. He succeeded Ferdinand Mount in 2003. In recent decades, the ''TLS'' has included essays, reviews and poems by John Ashbery, Italo Calvino, Patricia Highsmith, Milan Kundera, Philip Larkin, Mario Vargas Llosa, Joseph Brodsky, Gore Vidal, Orhan Pamuk, Geoffrey Hill, and Seamus Heaney, among others.〔(TLS writers past and present ), ''Times'' of London, n.d. 〕 Many writers have described the publication as indispensable. For example, prize-winning Peruvian writer Mario Vargas Llosa said: “I have been reading the ''TLS'' since I learned English 40 years ago. It is the most serious, authoritative, witty, diverse and stimulating cultural publication in all the five languages I speak.” 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Times Literary Supplement」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
