I" by Lady Morgan is a historical novel written in the early 19th century. The story takes place during the tumultuous period of the early 17th century, following Hilarion, the young Count d'Acugna. He is a deeply religious and enthusiastic monk of the Order of St. Francis, engaged in a mission to India, where he seeks to convert souls amidst the conflicts between Christianity and Hindu beliefs. The opening portion of the novel introduces Hilarion's background, detailing how he was raised by his noble family but chose the ascetic life of a monk. As he prepares for his mission to India, he is marked by a fervent desire to save souls and uphold the purity of his faith. The narrative vividly portrays the setting of 17th-century Portugal and India, while Hilarion's character is developed as one of idealism and spirituality, aspiring to live a life wholly devoted to goodness despite the tumultuous and oppressive socio-political climate of the time. His journey to India begins filled with hope and ambition, setting the stage for encounters with the vibrant culture and complex religious beliefs he will confront in his mission.
