"Den heliga Birgitta" by Lydia Wahlström is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the life and impact of Saint Birgitta (Bridget) of Sweden, positioning her as a central figure in the history, religion, and culture of medieval Sweden. The book appears to focus on Birgitta’s character, her spiritual experiences, and her influence both within her homeland and the wider European religious context. The opening of the book discusses the scarcity of vividly known personalities in Swedish medieval history, contrasting this with the unique prominence of Birgitta. It then describes her aristocratic background, early religious experiences, family life, and eventual turn toward intense spiritual vocation following the death of her husband. The narrative details Birgitta’s mystical visions, her social and political involvement, her relationships with influential religious figures, and her eventual journey to Rome with the goal of church reform and establishing a new religious order. This introductory portion provides a vivid portrait of Birgitta's formative years, personal traits, religious calling, and the beginning of her legacy as both reformer and mystic.
