- Kathryn Lindskoog
Kathryn Lindskoog (December 26, 1934 to October 21, 2003) was a
C.S. Lewis scholar known largely for her theory that some works attributed to Lewis are forgeries, including "The Dark Tower ".The main target of Lindskoog's writing was
Walter Hooper , Lewis's literary executor who edited most of Lewis's posthumous work. Lindskoog points out that Hooper's relationship with Lewis was overstated in some of the publications that he edited, and she argues that several works published under Lewis's name were in fact by Hooper.C. S. Lewis' step-son,
Douglas Gresham , denies the forgery claims, saying that "The whole controversy thing was engineered for very personal reasons... Her fanciful theories have been pretty thoroughly discredited." [http://www.narniafans.com/?id=1235] Lewis scholars are divided about the merits of Lindskoog's charges, but some of them have since been disproved by discovery of Lewis's own typescripts. Much of her animosity against Hooper may derive from disappointment that, though Lewis himself acknowledged her as highly knowledgeable about his bibliography, she was not given any role in dealing with his literary legacy.Fact|date=October 2007fixPOV|date=June 2008Partial bibliography
