Our alumna, Catherine Keene has her book "Saint Margaret, Queen of the Scots - A life in Perspective" published at Palgrave. The book is based on her PhD dissertation she defended at our department.
Margaret, saint and 11th-century Queen of the Scots, remains an often-cited yet little-understood historical figure. Keene's analysis of sources in terms of both time and place – including her Life of Saint Margaret , translated for the first time – allows for an informed understanding of the forces that shaped this captivating woman.
