Time and Tide (magazine)

Time and Tide (magazine)

"Time and Tide" was a British weekly political and literary review magazine founded by Lady Margaret Rhondda in 1920. It started out as a supporter of left wing and feminist causes and the mouthpiece of the feminist Six Point Group. It later moved to the right along with the views of its owner. It always supported and published literary talent. The initial editor was Helen Archdale. Lady Rhondda took over herself as editor in 1926 and remained for the rest of her life.

Contributors included ,Nancy Astor, Margaret Bondfield, Vera Brittain, Margery Corbett-Ashby, E.M. Delafield, Charlotte Despard, Crystal Eastman, Emma Goldman, Robert Graves, Charlotte Haldane, Mary Hamilton, Winifred Holtby, Storm Jameson, D. H. Lawrence, Rose Macaulay, Naomi Mitchison, George Orwell, Emmeline Pankhurst, Eleanor Rathbone, Elizabeth Robins, Olive Schreiner, George Bernard Shaw, Ethel Smyth, Helena Swanwick, Ernst Toller, Rebecca West, Ellen Wilkinson, Margaret Wintringham, and Virginia Woolf.

In 1954, C.S. Lewis published one of the first reviews of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Fellowship of the Ring" in "Time and Tide".

"Time and Tide" never sold well; its peak circulation was 14,000 copies. It is estimated that the magazine was subsidised by Lady Rhondda to the sum of £500,000 during the thirty-eight years she owned it.

With Lady Rhondda's death in 1958 it passed to the control of Rev Timothy Beaumont and editor John Thompson in March 1960. Under their supervision it became a political news-magazine with a Christian flavour during the 1960s. It however continued to lose £600 a week and, in June 1962, he sold it to Brittain Publishing Company where it was continued by W. J. Brittain. It became a monthly in 1970 and closed in 1979.
