Helena is a novel by Evelyn Waugh that tells the life of Helena, the mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. The story follows Helena from her youth in Britain to her marriage to Constantius and her subsequent conversion to Christianity. The novel explores themes of faith, power, and the search for truth in a declining world. Waugh considered this work his favorite and most ambitious, standing out for its intelligent treatment of corruption, betrayal, and enlightenment in Imperial Rome.
