| Sumario: | This article presents an overview of the spiritist doctrine, a religion codified by Allan Kardec in 1857, and represented in the corpus. Therefore, we aimed to carry out an analysis of some of the mediumistic scenes that appear in the novel A Rainha do Ignoto (1899), by Emília Freitas. She introduced Fantastic Literature in Brazil with this book that presents important traits of the society of her time and spiritualism. Freitas' work also ranges from simple themes to complex concepts of this doctrine. Many aspects that are considered fantastic are explained by Kardec, who called them “mediumistic phenomena”. Our research is justified by bringing a new look at this emblematic novel for being feminist, spiritualist and fantastic, scrutinizing these questions brought by the author to her masterpiece and, in this way, helping this writer to be more studied in the Academy and better known by the reading public. To theoretically support this work, we based ourselves on the following scholars: Kardec (2008), Amaro (2016), Moura (2017) and Denis (2021), among others. We conclude that Freitas used her Magnum Opus to convey a feminist utopia whose core is spiritualist. |
