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. While it has long been regarded as one of the world's preeminent critical publications, its history is not without gaffes. For instance the publication missed James Joyce entirely.
