I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'literary princess' is the definition.
'Isolde' can be an answer for 'princess' (legendary princess). I'm not certain of the 'literary' bit.

'lied so deviously' is the wordplay.
'deviously' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'lied'+'so'='liedso'
'liedso' is an anagram of 'ISOLDE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for isolde that I've seen before include "Tristan's beloved" , "Irish princess" , "Arthurian queen" , "heroine (sic)" , "Soiled like Tristan's lover" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
