Book Reviews of Helena (Loyola Classics)
Book Review: A Lesser Known Waugh Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Helena is one of Evelyn Waugh's lesser known works, but it deserves to be more widely read. It is a fictional biography of St. Helena, the mother of the Emperor Constantine. She is supposed to have discovered the True Cross and identified the sites of Calvary, Jesus' Tomb, and other episodes in the life of Christ.
Helena is a good example of Waugh's ability to write clearly and wittily and also of his deep Catholic faith. Most of Helena's life is clearly legendary, but nevertheless Waugh does an excellent job of bringing her to life and giving her a definite personality while demonstrating her (and his) deep religious devotion.
