Helena of Britain in Medieval Legend by Antonina Harbus

نویسنده:آنتونینا هاربوس (Antonina Harbus)  

 

St Helena, mother of Constantine the Great and legendary finder of the True Cross, was appropriated in the middle ages as a British saint.

The rise and persistence of this legend harnessed Helena’s imperial and sacred status to portray her as a romance heroine, source of national pride, and a legitimising link to imperial Rome

This study is the first to examine the origins, development, political exploitation and decline of this legend, tracing its momentum and adaptive power from Anglo-Saxon England to the twentieth century.

Using Latin, English, and Welsh texts, as well as church dedications and visual arts, the author examines the positive effect of the British legend on the cult of St Helena and the reasons for its wide appeal and durability in both secular and religious contexts.

Two previously unpublished vitae of St Helena are included in the volume: a Middle English verse vita from the South English Legendary, and a Latin prose vita by the twelfth-century hagiographer, Jocelin of Furness.

ANTONINA HARBUS is a Research Fellow in the Department of English, University of Sydney.
