ReviewsTime and Tide is an endlessly fascinating magazine. Provocative and forward-thinking, it influenced debate on topics ranging from work and leisure to modernist art.

John, Women's History Clay's book is erudite, comprehensive and wonderfully clear, and should immediately become the standard of work for anyone working on Time and Tide. -- Gareth Mills, The Review of English Studies, Clay's book is erudite, comprehensive and wonderfully clear, and should immediately become the standard of work for anyone working on Time and Tide.
