John Gross, 1935–2011
The literary life of the editor who ended the practice of anonymous reviewing in the TLS
John Gross, who died this week, was Editor of the TLS from 1974 to 1981, and a contributor to the paper from 1960 (when he reviewed J. D. Salinger’s For Esmé – with Love and Squalor) until last year (when he reviewed Dancing in the Dark: A cultural history of the Great Depression by Morris Dickstein). His books include The Rise and Fall of the Man of Letters: Aspects of English literary life since 1800 (1969), The Oxford Book of Aphorisms (1983), Shylock: Four hundred years in the life of a legend (1992), A Double Thread: A childhood in Mile End – and beyond (2001) and The Oxford Book of Parodies (published last year, and reviewed in the TLS by Seamus Perry).
