Complete online facsimile edition, updated to 2005 and now with full-text searching

Founded in 1902, for more than 100 years the Times Literary Supplement has forged a reputation for fine writing, literary discoveries and insightful debate. Since its first issue, the TLS has attracted the contributions of the world’s most influential writers and critics of the 20th and 21st centuries, from T.S. Eliot and Virginia Woolf to A.N. Wilson and Christopher Hitchens in the 1990s and 2000s.   Now the complete run of the TLS from 1902-2005 is available to institutions online with the forthcoming release of the Times Literary Supplement Historical Archive, 1902 – 2005.

The TLS Historical Archive, 1902-2005 is the improved and expanded new edition of the TLS Centenary Archive. The new edition will enable users to full-text search every page of every issue of the TLS from 1902 to 2005, discovering a wealth of material in 300,000 reviews, letters, poems and articles.  With this complete online facsimile edition, users will also be offered:
  • An additional 15 years of content (every page and every issue of the paper from 1991-2005 added)

The value of the TLS Historical Archive for students, researchers and the general user lies in its broad cross-disciplinary reach. It is the only literary weekly to offer coverage of the latest and most important publications in multiple languages, across all areas of the humanities and social sciences.   With reviews on books from every region of the world, the TLS Historical Archive has developed a voice that is truly international in its scope and appeal. The TLS has long published reviews of non-English language and translated books and devotes special issues to regional surveys of the USA, the Islamic world, France, Germany, Africa and the Far East.   In its digital form, the Times Literary Supplement Historical Archive, 1902-2005 becomes a rich research tool allowing users to trace the views of influential opinion makers, the response of their contemporaries, the controversies and debates of the day making it the essential review for modern cultural studies.
