The work surveys imaginative literature across centuries to identify portrayals of female same-sex desire and other departures from conventional gendered sexuality, combining historical overview, quantitative bibliographic compilation, and critical commentary. The author traces recurring motifs and narrative strategies, examines how scientific and moral discourse has shaped literary treatment, and argues that imaginative writing often encodes libidinal concerns overlooked by empirical science. Arranged with documentation and examples drawn from a wide range of texts, the survey aims to map patterns of representation, terminology, and social response rather than to judge individual authors.
