| 520 | |a Despite Evelyn Waugh's conviction that Helena (1950) was his greatest work, the novel receives less critical attention than his well-known interwar satires and his postwar hit, Brideshead Revisited (1945). This article argues that the novel accomplishes Waugh's self-conscious postwar effort to rehouse his satiric impulses in a mode that resists both the dark laughter of modernism and the sentimentality risked in mid-century Catholic fiction. With metafictive attention to genre and style, Helena exemplifies what this article terms sacramental humor. Waugh's fictionalized St. Helena embodies the contrast between satire that seeks to correct or destroy and humor that seeks to heal. | ||
