The Times Literary Supplement - the world's most authoritative review of literature, scholarship and the visual and performing arts.

Every week the TLS offers comprehensive coverage, not only of the latest books, but also recent film productions, theatre and opera. In each issue there are usually half a dozen essays, some two dozen detailed book reviews, several newly published poems - and the occasional short story.

Over the year you can look forward to 30 or 40 special issues covering topics such as medicine, music, archaeology, travel, women's studies, history, USA, Japan, the Middle East and Spain.

The TLS is written by intelligent people with a passion for ideas. Notable contributors have included T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, Anthony Powell, George Steiner, Roland Barthes, Edmund White, Gore Vidal, Joyce Carol Oates, Umberto Eco, Camille Paglia, Philip Larkin, Kingsley and Martin Amis.

No other publication covers so much ground with such authority, scholarly rigour or intellectual curiosity.
