Honours In 1972 Hooper was awarded the Mythopoeic Society's second annual Mythopoeic Scholarship Award in Inklings Studies, for scholarly contribution to the criticism and appreciation of the
epic fantasy literature generated by the
Inklings School.
Controversy In 1977, Hooper published C. S. Lewis's unfinished science fiction novel
The Dark Tower, an abandoned sequel to his
interplanetary trilogy.
Kathryn Lindskoog, the American author of a study of Lewis, wrote a book alleging that the novel was either partly or entirely forged by Hooper and also questioning the authenticity of other Lewis works that Hooper had edited. Hooper rejected Lindskoog's accusations, and her assault on his integrity is now generally acknowledged to be baseless. In particular, Professor
Alastair Fowler of the University of Edinburgh, whose doctoral research Lewis supervised in 1952, recalled
The Dark Tower as a story that Lewis had discussed with him. Lewis's stepson
Douglas Gresham has also rejected Lindskoog's claims: "The whole controversy thing was engineered for very personal reasons…. Her fanciful theories have been pretty thoroughly discredited." ==Related works==
