Lagerkvist ricevette una tradizionale istruzione religiosa che influenzò fortemente tutte le sue opere, although his passion for religion mellowed in his later years under the influence of modern scientific ideas, which eventually led him to break with the religion of his forefathers.

One of the author's earliest works is ''Ångest'' (''Anguish'', [[1916]]), a [[violence|violent]] and disillusioned collection of poems. His anguish was derived from his fear of death, the [[World War I|World War]], and personal crisis. He tried to explore how a person can find a meaningful life in a world where a war can kill millions for very little reason. "Anguish, anguish is my heritage / the wound of my throat / the cry of my heart in the world." ("Anguish", 1916.) "Love is nothing. Anguish is everything / the anguish of living." ("Love is nothing", 1916.) This pessimism, however, slowly faded, as testified by his subsequent works, ''Det eviga leendet'' (''The Eternal Smile'', 1920), the autobiographical novel ''Gäst hos verkligheten'' (''Guest of Reality'', 1925) and the prose monologue ''Det besegrade livet'' (''The triumph of Life'', 1927), in which the faith in man is predominant.
