[edit] Corroborative evidence for Lewis's authorship

Users of this site might want further information regarding 'a man named Alistair Fowler.' Prof. Fowler is a Regius Professor Emeritus in the University of Edinburgh. His article, 'C.S. Lewis: Supervisor' was published in the Yale Review (LXXXXI/4 (October 2003), pp. 64-80 and concerns his relationship with Lewis when Prof. Lewis was his doctoral supervisor as he, Fowler, prepared his Oxford D. Phil. thesis. Prof. Fowler is a leading scholar in his field and his word on this bizarre charge by Mrs Lindskoog should be decisive among anyone seriously wishing to understand the valuable work undertaken by Walter Hooper. From Dr J.E.B. Munson, M.A., D. Phil. (Oxon.) (This section moved from the article page to the talk page by Bigturtle 23:41, 6 June 2007 (UTC).)

[edit] Chronicle of Higher Education Article

Without getting in the middle of the Hooper/Lindskoog debate, I have to note that the Chronicle of Higher Education article which is cited does not support Hooper's position. Nor Lindskoog's position, for that matter. It merely details the controversy, and should not be used as a "proof" one way or the other. --Fatherz 16:04, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hagiography

I think there might be a more satisfactoy way of referring to Hooper's "high ethical standards and love of C. S. Lewis". Myopic Bookworm (talk) 19:46, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
