Summary "Incognita; Or, Love and Duty Reconcil'd" by William Congreve is a novel written in the late 17th century, during the Restoration era. The novel explores the themes of love and duty through the intertwining lives of its main characters, Aurelian and Hippolito, who are caught in a complex web of romance and obligation as they navigate youthful relationships in Florence. The opening portion of the novel introduces the backdrop of Florence, highlighting the lavish preparations for an upcoming wedding. It establishes Aurelian as a well-educated young gentleman and gives insight into his close friendship with Hippolito, a Spanish nobleman. Their anticipation for the forthcoming festivities sets the tone for their adventures. As they arrive in Florence, they seek to immerse themselves in the excitement of the city, with plans to partake in balls and masquerades. The narrative intertwines their longing for love with the societal expectations of marriage, creating an undercurrent of tension as they both engage with mysterious ladies who captivate their hearts while grappling with familial pressures and personal desires.
