"This volume is part of the Complete Works of Evelyn Waugh critical edition, which
brings together all Waugh's published and previously unpublished writings for the
first time with comprehensive introductions and annotation, and a full account of
each text's manuscript development and textual variants. The edition's General Editor
is Alexander Waugh, Evelyn Waugh's grandson and editor of the twelve-volume Personal
Writings sequence. Set in the 4th century AD, and Waugh's only historical novel, Helena
is the story of the mother of Emperor Constantine and her reputed discovery of the
'True Cross'. Waugh described Helena as his favourite among his works-in a Face to
Face interview with John Freeman for the BBC in 1960, for example. His fictional account
of Helena's widely-celebrated life and pilgrimage is the product of detailed historical
research, and it contributes to our understanding of Waugh's views of the Church,
both ancient and modern. Uniquely, however, Helena also demonstrates Waugh's interest
in domestic politics set against a backdrop of significant historical acts"
