"If I were allowed only one weekly it would be the TLS" – Tom Stoppard "Comprehensive and compelling, it reaches out its tentacles across the arts, the sciences and the arguments that entertain those of us cheering and booing on the sideline" – Melvyn Bragg "Every issue of the TLS has at least one surprise lurking amid the elegant academic wrangling. Three generations of my family subscribe. We all look forward to it, and we all do the crossword too" – Claire Tomalin "I like to read The Times Literary Supplement over breakfast. It is an education. The TLS keeps me so busy I don't have time to read other magazines" – Nigel Planer Founded in 1902, the Times Literary Supplement (TLS for short) is a weekly review of new books. It covers everything from the performing arts to natural history, from new novels to ancient literature – principally in English but with an unequalled coverage, for the anglophone world, of both books in translation in their original languages – as well as of literary discoveries and the latest critical ideas. Past and present contributors include T. S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Henry James, Anthony Powell, Ian Hamilton, Philip Larkin, Seamus Heaney, Paul Muldoon, Richard Dawkins, Redmond O'Hanlon, Penelope Fitzgerald, Lorna Sage, Hilary Mantel, Ali Smith, Joyce Carol Oates, Julian Barnes, Mary Beard, Eimear McBride and Toby Lichtig. The TLS is now available in print and as an app, and has loyal subscribers around the world. (One recently told us he had been reading it since the Second World War.)
