Comparative literary studies have traditionally emphasized cross - cultural and cross-linguistic interactions; however, the role of poetics in shaping comparative research paradigms has not been sufficiently systematized. Ethel Lilian Voynichʼs literary works, in particular “The Gadfly” are a valuable example for studying the intersection of poetics, ideology, and reception in comparative literary discou rse. This article compares scholarly research on Ethel Lilian Voynichʼs works. It aims to identify the main research themes, methods, and shortcomings in Western, Russian, and Uzbek literary studies. The study uses comparative, historical -literary, and ana lytical methods, drawing on the principles of historical and theoretical poetics, reception theory, and cross-cultural literary analysis. Critical studies, translations, and explanatory frameworks are examined to assess scholarly trends and methodological consistency. Studies of the Voynich manuscript often focus on “The Gadfly” especially in studies of 20th -century Russian literature, emphasizing its ideological, mythopoetic, and psychological perspectives. Voynichʼs other novels, in particular, have been understudied in comparative and translation studies. The article concludes that Voynichʼs literary legacy is a promising area for interdisciplinary comparative research. Systematic analysis of lesser -studied works and their cross-cultural reception can make a significant contribution to the development of modern comparative literature and translation studies.
