The Times Literary Supplement is a weekly journal largely devoted to book reviews, published in
London. It 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
June 7,
1974.
Martin Amis was a member of the editorial staff early in his career.
Philip Larkin's poem "Aubade" was first published in the
Christmas-week issue of the
TLS in
1977.
