<p>Lucie Lagerbielke (1865-1931) is a fairly unknown writer who lived and worked in Stockholm. All her life she was writing with a strong aim to tell her truth and she had an aspiration to change the world for the better. Her main points of views in her authorship were; oneness, the power of love, a belief in a supreme purpose to be served, religious mysticism and the interest in understanding and to prove the transcendent on a scientific basis. </p><p>In my discussion I relate to Rita Felski and her expression <em>the popular sublime,</em> a term she applies to illustrate a sublime way of writing that was common in women popular fiction in the late nineteenth-century. This romantic literature with escapist tendencies was popular among the ordinary readers but very seldom met with success with the professional critics.</p><p>Focus in this BA thesis is the spiritual Lagerbielke and in what way she wants to change the society. I have analyzed two of her novels, <em>Daniel- ett lifsöde</em> and <em>En sällsam upplefvelse</em> with intention to examine how she used her novels to plead for her cause.</p><p>By making such an analysis I come to the conclusion that both her novels have the purpose to emphasize her philosophy of life. <em>En sällsam upplefvelse</em> focus on explain the supernatural scientifically and in the novel <em>Daniel – ett lifsöde</em> her intend is to enlighten oneness and selfless love. </p>
