  Free Times: Literary Supplement   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Codrescu's end of time detective story is perhaps the most literate and original mystery since Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose.
Sifting through the evidence of the early 20th century, Vianna points out specific examples of Brazilian elites being in direct social contact (through the help of what he calls "cultural mediators", who were sometimes foreigners) with the sambistas, and documents the significance of these interactions to the spread of samba.

 The Times Literary Supplement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Times Literary Supplement (or TLS) is a weekly literary review published in London by News International, a subsidiary of News Corporation.
It first appeared in 1902 as a supplement to The Times, but became a separate publication in 1914.
The Times Literary Supplement was admirably adapted to this purpose, of a neverfailing toughness and impermeability.

 Amazon.fr : Critical Times: The History of the Times Literary Supplement: Livres en anglais: Derwent May   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Derwent May's centenary history of the Times Literary Supplement: Critical Times: The History of The Times Literary Supplement signifies its importance (and its self-importance).
Although the great and the good of the literary scene are all here-"Q", Woolf, Eliot, Amis major and minor, Berlin, etc--and most of the famous academic skirmishes get good coverage (communism, science vs. culture, post-structuralism), the book is too list-like a treatment.
May, a TLS contributor and longtime Times man, closely chronicles the supplement's tenuous start (it was originally issued to cover book reviews squeezed out of the regular Times by parliamentary reports) and frequent financial crises the TLS would inevitably be rescued in the nick of time by one high-minded millionaire or another.

 Times Literary Supplement 4/10/1991
He devoured his literary predecessors, even attempting to live out a Rousseauesque idyll in Switzerland, and so turned his life into the self-conscious »instrument« of his art.
They become raw and desperate as he succumbs to the contradictory dictates of his »heart«, ever intimating that his life and work form a tragic symbiosis: »what moves us most« when looking at a work of art, he tells Fouqué, is »the spirit which produced it«.
For the first time, they reproduce the punctuation, spelling and texts of all states and authoritative printings, with photographic reproductions and transcripts of the MSS promised.

 Henry Reed in the Times Literary Supplement
Times (London) Literary Supplement, 22 November 1991, 7.
The poem, published in 1942, is superficially about the lack of equipment for Army conscripts at the time, but its five verses also suggest through their unemphatic verbal wit a contrast between the destructive power of man's weaponry and the burgeoning beauty of nature.
He was born in 1914, the son of a master bricklayer in Birmingham, "a serious drinker and womanizer", and a mother who was illiterate but a great teller of fairy stories to her daughter and son.

 Powell's Books - Review-a-Day - Rising Up and Rising Down: Some Thoughts on Violence, Freedom and Urgent Means by ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
To that extent, this is his "Anatomy of Violence", three times as long as Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy, similarly stuffed with quotations, the rich pickings of a fellow "library cormorant".
The first four volumes of this study, the theoretical sections, or Justifications, distil Vollmann's wide reading and sustained meditation on the subject; the fifth and sixth, the Studies in Consequences, are case studies, two large collections of personal experience and observation.
Vollmann makes no apology for this; in a note on the literary language of his study he explains why a work which is organized on a theoretical basis indulges in so much "ornate description".

 NYSL: Tech Notes - Times Literary Supplement   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
The back numbers of The Times Literary Supplement are among the prime sources of twentieth-century British cultural history but two main obstacles have deterred anyone who wanted to make use of them.
And for the first time they can learn who wrote the reviews: not only their names but something about who they were, what else they did and the full range of what they wrote for the journal.
The back numbers tell their own story but for the majority of readers who would prefer a shorter narrative, a history of the TLS is being written by Derwent May, to be published in time for the paper’s centenary in 2002.

 Powell's Books - Review-a-Day - The Plot Against America: A Novel by Philip Roth, reviewed by Times Literary Supplement
It takes time for Lindbergh's election fully to challenge "that huge endowment of personal security that I had taken for granted as an American child", but eventually that challenge does arrive.
But then every historical novel invokes the time of its writing, even those that describe a past that never was.
I suspect that with time such moments, in which Roth appears to stand shoulder to shoulder with the world of his fathers, will prove as central to our understanding of him as Portnoy's Complaint itself.

Drucker is one of those writers to whom almost anything can be forgiven because he not only has a mind of his own, but has the gift of starting other minds along a stimulating line of thought.
That the consumption goods produced should mainly take the form of armaments does not justify us in pointing horrified fingers at wastefulness; for if guns exhaust their usefulness in a few years, so, for example, do radio sets.
The totalitarian system can, in fact, function for a long time so long as it is self-contained, though the diversion of consumption goods to pay for imported raw materials constitutes a heavy strain.

From this it may easily be deduced that the writings of Huysmans are better explained by a description of his personality than, as is much more generally the case, by an impersonal analysis of his work.
One of the least liable to this objection is the essay of R. de Gourmont, "Souvenirs sur Huysmans," for although Gourmont was not a Christian, and, moreover, was very hurt by Huysmans's breaking off the friendship at his conversion, the malice in his anecdotes is not excessive.
Most of his books were written on Government paper in Government time; he made very few corrections, and wrote as he spoke (which is amazing, considering the originality, complexity, and vigour of his style).

 Online Review London - Midnights Children
Adapting this huge story to the stage is no mean feat, but although it makes for a long night in the auditorium – three and a half hours – the result is an undoubted success.
The array of characters, the large time-spread, and the multiplicity of detail, should have been thoroughly confusing; but it is not, because of the cleverness of structure and the gripping narrative thrust of the whole.
Rushdie's debt to Sterne (perhaps to the whole picaresque tradition) is obvious in the early part of the story, whose hero – if he is an anti-hero he is a remarkably heroic one, given the vicissitudes he stoically bears – takes a long time getting born.

 Tom Shippey's Review of Seamus Heaney's Beowulf
Because, "when the men of the family spoke, the words they uttered came across with a weighty directness, phonetic units as separate and defined as the delph platters displayed on a dresser shelf".
In their mouths, a sentence like "we cut the corn today", says Heaney, "took on immense dignity"; when whey opened a statement with "So", the idiom operated "as an expression that obliterates all previous discourse and narrative, and ad the same time functions as an exclamation calling for immediate attention".
I do not know if it is because the poem gets sadder towards the end, but I formed the impression that he was becoming more comfortable with his mode as time went by.

 Free Times: Literary Supplement   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
In 1953, Truffaut published the essay “A Certain Tendency of the French Cinema,” which claimed that the country’s leading film directors took a cynical and superior attitude to their screen characters.
These directors, Truffaut argued, with their taste for adapting literary works, used cinema merely as a means of illustrating screen plays, an approach that undervalued the camera as the art form’s primary mode of expression.
Truffaut’s manifesto caused a rift in the French film community, and along with his contemporaries, who would become the directors and critics of the New Wave, Truffaut began ignoring the films of the French establishment in favor of American films.

Despite signs of the new military technology--primitive telephone, telegraph, typewriter--the place is in a tatty condition, and not surprisingly so with batmen like Thersites to tidy it up.
The same interior is made to serve both Greek and Trojan camps, so those who don't know the play may be confused at times, as well as puzzled by the characters' ability to sight Greek tents and Trojan walls at the back of the stalls.
She is helped in this by the ugly suggestiveness of the scene in which she is gang-kissed by the Greek commanders; such a girl at such a time and place needs a Diomede to protect her from worse things.

It seems almost sacriligeous to find fault with the TLS which for many is a kind of book-review Bible.
But when compared to other book- review venues including the NY Times Bookreview and the NY Review of Books, I find it somehow chauvinistically British and narrowly focused.

The Times Literary Supplement didn't publish an annual bestseller list, at least up to 1980, and hence the information you asked for is also unavailable in the Online archive.

She has Brunetière and Coppée, and Bourget and Huysmans (all of them recently studied by M. Jules Sageret in a brilliant volume of literary psychology, "Les Grands Convertis").
None of them are more sincere than Huysmans; and yet his conversion, if it changed the heart, left almost untouched the temperament (at once fastidious and gorss à la Flamande) and the peculiar qualities of the artist.
The man whose literary work is one violent objurgation did not permit a complaint to pass his lips.

 Men of Letters
To appreciate the specific history Derwent May chronicles in Critical Times, an exceedingly exhaustive biography of the hundred-year-old TLS, one must put into context the condition of the journalism that Macdonald praised.
He referred to the type of writing that concerned him as "British literary journalism," and even when he wasn't specifically dissecting the TLS, he was mostly assessing the other weeklies' book criticism and reviewers ("the headlong rush of Pritchett, the neat, balanced style of Connolly").
Since the beginning of the nineteenth century book reviewing had played a remarkably elevated role in British intellectual life, largely defining the terms of debate on and discussion of political, religious, economic, scientific, historical, and biographical subjects as well as literature.

Since 1902, the Times Literary Supplement - TLS - has scrutinized, dissected, applauded, and occasionally disparaged, the work of the twentieth century's leading writers and thinkers.
In the course of its history the paper has earned an unrivalled reputation for intellectual rigour, impartiality - and curiosity: a reputation it keeps to this day.
The TLS is the only literary weekly - in fact the only journal - to offer comprehensive coverage not just of the latest and most important publications, in every subject, in several languages - but also current theatre, opera and film.
