Appendix I Anne Lister’s Erotic Glossary

Below is a transliteration of Figure 1.1, which presents a glossary of sexual terms written by Anne Lister across two pages of one of her commonplace books in 1820, based on notes she had made in 1814.Footnote ¹ The ciphered entries were mostly copied from Nathan Bailey’s Universal Etymological English Dictionary. The exceptions are yaws (taken from James Barclay’s Complete and Universal English Dictionary) and masturbation and tribas (composed by Lister with reference to Martial’s Epigrams, Johann Scapula’s Lexicon Græco-Latinum, and Pierre Bayle’s Historical and Critical Dictionary). The following transliteration is taken from Reference TurtonTurton (2022), where a detailed commentary can be found.

Appendix II Same-Sex Definitions in Dictionaries, 1604–1933

This appendix reproduces definitions of terms for same-sex acts, actors, and desires from a survey of monolingual British dictionaries printed between 1604 and 1933. After 1884, the appendix’s focus mostly narrows to the Oxford English Dictionary and its 1933 Supplement. Headwords are arranged alphabetically; the definitions under them are ordered chronologically. In the case of multi-volume dictionaries published over a span of years, each definition is dated to the year in which the relevant volume appeared. Entries from the OED are dated according to the fascicle in which they were first issued, and they are attributed to whichever editor was responsible for that fascicle.

The focus of the appendix is on first editions of dictionaries (except where these have been unobtainable) and later editions revised by a different lexicographer from the first. Definitions from other editions by the same lexicographer have been included only when they are new or have been significantly altered from an earlier edition. The genre of a dictionary is indicated by a circled letter before its title – biographical, classical, and encyclopaedic (Ⓑ), cant and slang (Ⓒ), law (Ⓛ), medical (Ⓜ), technical (Ⓣ) – except for hard-word and general dictionaries, which are unmarked.

The appendix is not meant to be exhaustive, but to show in a limited space how dictionaries’ coverage and treatment of same-sex lexis changed (and did not change) over time. It does not include:

Most non-definitional elements of dictionary entries, such as etymologies, pronunciations, part of speech labels, footnotes, and quotations, except in cases where these elements have not been treated discretely by a dictionary and are incorporated into a definition. However, sense numbers and usage labels are retained.
Encyclopaedic explanations of proper nouns. A partial exception is Sappho: because of her significance as the eponym of Sapphic and lesbian, and because the sexual senses of those words were slow to appear in dictionaries, I have included extracts from dictionary entries that allude to her same-sex relationships for the sake of comparison.
Entries from etymological dictionaries.
Non-same-sex senses of polysemous terms (e.g. demonymic uses of Lesbian ‘of Lesbos’ and Bugger ‘Bulgarian’, or definitions of hermaphrodite that do not equate it with a woman who has sex with women), unless the senses concern other forms of sexuality that may overlap with same-sex intimacy (e.g. confricatrix ‘a female who masturbates’).
Entries that do not directly signify same-sex intimacy despite citing it tangentially (e.g. a medical definition of cristæ that happens to attribute their cause to sodomy). An exception is made for clitorism, whose meaning shifts from an enlargement of the clitoris caused by ‘abuse’ to the ‘abuse’ itself.

All unnatural carnal copulations, whether with man or beast, seem to come under the notion of buggery or sodomy, which was felony by the ancient Common law, and punished, according to some authors, with burning, according to others, with burying alive. But at this day, by force of the statutes 25 Hen. 8 c. 6. and 5 El. c. 17. it is punished in the same manner as other felonies which are excluded from the clergy. 1 Hawk. 6. 3 Inst. 58. 12 Co. 36, 37. The said statute of 25 Hen. 8 making it felony generally, there may be accessaries both before and after; but those that are present, aiding and abetting, are all principals. And altho’ none of the principals are admitted to their clergy, yet accessaries before and after are not excluded from clergy. 1 Hal H. 670. If the party buggered be within the age of discretion (which is generally reckoned the age of 14,) it is no felony in him, but in the agent only. But if buggery be committed upon a man of the age of discretion, it is felony in them both. 3 Inst. 59. In every indictment for this offence, there must be the words rem habuit Veneream et carnaliter cognovit; and consequently some kind of penetration, and also of emission, must be proved; but any the least degree is sufficient, and emission is prima facie an evidence of penetration. 1 Hawk. 6. 12 Co. 36, 37. 3 Inst. 58.

Ⓛ The Law-Dictionary, rev. ed.	Jacob, rev. Tomlins	1797	Buggery, or Sodomy	Comes from the Italian bugarone or buggerare, and it is defined to be a carnal copulation against nature, and this either by the confusion of species; that is to say, a man or a woman with a brute beast; or of sexes, as a man with a man, or man unnaturally with a woman. 3 Inst. 58 : 12 Co. Rep. 36. This sin against God, nature, and the law, it is said was brought into England by the Lombards. Rot. Parl. 50 Ed. 3. numb. 58. In ancient times, according to some authors, it was punishable with burning, though, others say with burying alive: but at this day it is felony excluded clergy and punished as other felonies by stat. 25 H. 8. cap. 6, inforced by 5 Eliz. 17. By the articles of the navy, (Art. 29. stat. 22 Geo. 2. c. 33,) If any person in the fleet shall commit the unnatural and detestable sin of buggery or sodomy, with man or beast; he shall be punished with death by the sentence of a court martial. It is felony both in the agent and patient consenting, except the person on whom it is committed be a boy under the age of discretion; (which is generally reckoned at fourteen;) when it is felony only in the agent: all persons present, aiding and abetting to this crime, are all principals, and the statutes make it felony generally: there may be accessaries before and after the fact; but though none of the principal offenders shall be admitted to clergy, the accessaries are not excluded it. 1 Hale’s Hist. P. C. 670. In every indictment for this offence, there must be the words, rem habuit veneream & carnaliter cognovit, &c. and of consequence some kind of penetration and emission must be proved; but any the least degree is sufficient. 1 Hawk. P. C. c. 4. The general words of these indictments are, that A. B. on such a day, at, &c. with force and arms, made an assault upon C. D. and then and there wickedly, devilishly, feloniously, and against the order of nature, commited the venereal act with the said C. D. and carnally knew him, and then and there wickedly, &c. did with him that sodomitical and detestable sin called buggery, (not to be named among Christians) to the great displeasure of God, and disgrace of all mankind, &c. This crime is excepted out of our acts of general pardon. – This says Blackstone is a crime which ought to be strictly and impartially proved, and then as strictly and impartially punished. But it is an offence of so dark a nature, so easily charged, and the negative so difficult to be proved, that the accusation should be clearly made out; for if false, it deserves a punishment inferior only to that of the crime itself.

perversion (of sexual instinct), sexual perversion, n.
Ⓜ A Dictionary of Psychological Medicine	Tuke	1892	SEXUAL PERVERSION	The term ‘perverse sexual feeling’ (conträre Sexualempfindung) was first used by Westphal (in Archiv f. Psych.) to express a condition which had already received attention from Casper and others, and which is described as consisting of an innate perversion or ‘inversion’ of the sexual feelings with consciousness of its morbid nature. It is maintained that in this condition a passion for the sex to which the sufferer belongs, instead of the normal inclination to the opposite sex, exists; and that this is a state which is innate – i.e., appears as early as the dawn of sexual feelings, and remains constant; is in fact, quâ the individual, a physiological state. The evidence to prove this view, which seems at a first glance so untenable, is derived in part from the statements of persons who have exhibited the symptoms of sexual perversion. These unhappy creatures, for whom the term ‘Urnings’* was invented by a certain German lawyer who wrote on the subject from personal experience, claim that a large number of the human race are born with this abnormal appetite, and that they have the power throughout life of recognising each other when they meet. Now it is to be observed that the reminiscences and confessions of persons exhibiting sexual disturbance are notoriously untrustworthy. Any man who gives way to sexual depravity in whatever form at the period of puberty, and continues to indulge in it, will be disposed to feel that he had been led by a natural tendency. And yet how many cases of sexual depravity of various sorts occur in boyhood and are followed by the development of the ordinary sexual passion. A more solid argument is derived from the fact that such persons often spring from neurotic families – are themselves neurasthenic, and frequently exhibit temporary or permanent conditions of degenerative mental disturbance. It is also noted that the sexual passion appears at an abnormally early age in such cases. But all this is capable of another interpretation which appears to us to be, at least in the majority of cases, the true one. In a neurotic, delicate, or ill brought up child, the sexual passion appears early. The sexual passion at its first appearance is always indefinite, and is very easily turned in a wrong direction. This occurs in ordinary cases of masturbation. As in masturbation, so in other forms of sexual depravity, the vice is more apt to become permanent if it begins early before the higher faculties have developed, and once the vicious habit of mind is definitely organised, development of appetite along the normal lines may fail to take place. Some such explanation as this seems more rational than the belief that an individual is born with the anatomical characteristics of one sex and the mental characteristics of another. Besides, it brings these cases into line with that form of sexual aberration with which we are most familiar, self-abuse. This view is also borne out by the fact that these cases are almost always complicated with it. Out of seventeen cases of so-called congenital sexual perversion described by Krafft-Ebing, in the third edition of his book on ‘Sexual Psychopathy,’ in three or four at most the condition did not seem to have originated in masturbation in early life, and many of the histories are simply accounts of the depraved habits unfortunately common in boyhood carried on into adult life. Akin to sexual perversion, in the limited sense of the word, are many other aberrations of the venereal appetite, all of which are probably to be regarded as essentially of the same nature and having a similar origin. In these, apparently through some accidental mental association formed in early life, some object not directly connected with the performance of the sexual functions calls up sexual feelings and desires. Such cases in their disgusting details seem hardly worthy of the minute study that has been given to them. For the purpose of the physician it seems sufficient to look upon them as varieties of masturbation. One class, perhaps, deserves special note through its possible importance from a medico-legal point of view. In this form sexual excitement is combined with bloodthirsty tendencies to mutilation, or even murder, or to both. It would seem that in some cases the murderous tendency appears as the equivalent and representative of sexual passion. Some shocking crimes certainly seem to have been due to this association, but here, as in the previously considered cases, we must not hastily assume that a highly abnormal development of the generative feelings necessarily implies congenital perversion. Those who wish to follow up the subject of sexual aberration in its less usual forms will find detailed information in the works of Casper, Westphal, Krafft-Ebing, Tarnowsky, Lombroso, Charcot, Moll, and others. Conolly Norman. The Word ‘Urning’ has no derivation. Ulrich [sic*], who was the Bavarian jurist referred to, wrote several extraordinary pamphlets claiming for people of this kind the legal right of marriage with persons of the same sex. The term has come into general use in Germany. – E{d.}

He has also preserved the Names of 3 of her Female, Scholars [sic] whom she did, without doubt, initiate in her Mysteries. Since Lucian does not observe that the Women of the Isle of Lesbos, who he says were very Subject to this Passion, Learned it of Sappho, ’tis better to imagine that she found it already Established in her Country than to make her the Inventer of it.

[…] Sappho devoted herself to letters, and undertook to inspire the Lesbian women with a taste for literature: many foreigners were, with her fair countrywomen, among her disciples. The Lesbian poetess was, like all persons of talents (women more especially), exposed to envy and slander: having neglected to conciliate her enemies, she provoked them by contempt and irony. […]
Ⓑ A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country	Betham	1804	SAPPHO	[…] imputations with which her memory is loaded, should not be too easily credited; since perhaps they rest but on the faith of Ovid. Had not chronology contradicted her amour with Anacron, that would still have been considered a fact; and the cause of truth is so holy, that we ought not more implicitly to believe ill reports of the dead than of the living; or at least, if there is a doubt, candour ought to incline one to give it its full force.

Ⓑ Bibliotheca Classica, 2nd rev. ed.	Lemprière, rev. Barker	1832	Sappho or Sapho	[…] Her tender passions were so violent, that some have represented her attachment with 3 of her female companions, Atthis, Megara, and Telesiphe, as criminal. {This is incorrect: Sappho had united around her a number of young females, whom she instructed in music and poetry, and they in turn revered her as their benefactress. This, however, was made a pretext for the gross calumnies, which have tarnished her reputation.} […]
Ⓑ Lempriere’s Classical Dictionary, Abridged, new ed.	Lemprière, rev. Barker, rev. Cauvin	1843	Sappho	[…] Few authentic particulars of her life are known; and even these have been so industriously misinterpreted, that down to a very recent period her name was overshadowed by a cloud of infamy, which, however, the researches of modern philologists have completely dispelled. […]
Ⓑ Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology	Smith	1849	SAPPHO	[…] Not only is there in her fragments no line which, rightly understood, can cast a cloud upon her fair fame, but they contain passages which, as in the one already referred to concerning Alcaeus, she repels with dignity the least transgression of those bounds of social intercourse, which, among the Aeolian Greeks, were much wider than in the states of Ionian origin. And this last point is just that to which we are doubtless to look for the main source of the calumnies against the poetess. […] Another matter of great interest is concerning the relations of Sappho to those of her own sex. She appears to have been the centre of a female literary society, most of the members of which were her pupils in the technical portion of her art. […] Those of her poems, which are addressed to her female friends are so fervid, that they ought almost to be classed with her erotic poems. […]

Modern writers have indeed attempted to prove that the moral character of Sappho was free from all reproach; but it is impossible to read the fragments which remain of her poetry without being forced to come to the conclusion that a female, who could write such poetry, could not be the pure and virtuous woman, which her modern apologists pretend.

Ⓜ A Medicinal Dictionary	James	1745	TRIBADES	See Malthacos. Tho’ the Clitoris is commonly concealed within the Lips of the Pudenda; yet in some Women it becomes so far prominent, that they are either, by ignorant Persons, thought to be transform’d into Men, or make Attempts to converse in a criminal manner with other Women. The unhappy Females, who pollute themselves in this manner, are by the Greeks call’d Τριβάδες, and by the Latins Fricatrices, who, according to Cœlius Aurelianus, in Lib. 4. Tard[ae] Pass[iones] Cap. 9. are fonder of associating themselves with Women than with Men. Henrica Schuria, a Woman of a masculine Turn of Mind, being weary of her Sex, dress’d herself like a Man, and serv’d in Quality of a Soldier for some time under his Serene Highness Frederic Henry Prince of Orange, in the Siege of Boisleduc. But returning Home, she was accus’d of uncommon and preternatural Lust, since her Clitoris sometimes appear’d so far without the Lips of the Pudenda, that she frequently attempted that Species of criminal Dalliance with other Women, which the Greeks call Κειτορίζειν [sic]. She could, also, perform what the Greeks call Τρίβειν with such a Degree of Vigour and Virility, that she pleas’d a certain Widow, of whom she was excessively fond, so well, that, if the Laws of the Land had permitted, she would have married her, perhaps more chearfully than she had done her deceas’d Husband, by whom she had six Children. This Woman, in external Appearance had the same Configuration of the Parts of the Pudenda with other Women. But, according to the Declaration of three Midwives, internally, a little before the urinary Passage, there was evidently perceiv’d a certain glandulous Caruncle, call’d the Clitoris, which tho’ in other Women it hardly exceeds the Bulk of a Nail, was yet said to be half a Finger long in her, and in Thickness to resemble the Penis of a Boy. This Clitoris, tho’ not always, yet sometimes, appear’d without the Lips of the Pudenda, especially when she discharg’d her Urine with Difficulty, or was under the Influence of strong Inclinations to her unnatural Crime; at which time her Clitoris protuberated half a Finger’s Length, or sometimes more, according to the Strength of her Inclinations. Johannes Poponius, a celebrated Lawyer, in L. 22. Tit. 7. Arest. 11 is of Opinion, that such Women ought to be punished by Death. But Henrica Schuria had a milder Judge, and, being only whipt with Rods, was banish’d far from the Partner of her Crimes; who was, also, punish’d, tho’ allowed to remain in the City. Tulpii Observat. L. 3. C. 35.
