Catherine Keene is the Visiting Assistant Professor of Medieval History and Literature, and Interim Director of the Medieval Studies Program at Southern Methodist University, USA.

"This study on the life and cult of Margaret of Scotland offers a combination of biographic and hagiographic approach. It is founded in ample international scholarship on the different political and religious contexts where she lived and where her memory got fashioned. A colorful inquiry on a fascinating person and an impressive saintly queen mother." - Gabor Klaniczay, Professor of Medieval Studies, Central European University, Budapest
