Nakool Can't we use 'came about' No. 'Came about' indicates a creation, but the author's love of democracy pre-existed; it was merely expressed (= came up) in her novel.

I prefer came out to came up.
ie The author's love for democracy came out in the novel.
came out means the novel showed it more indirectly., less explicitly.
