To my knowledge, the first paper dealing with this subject is the one
by G. B. Jeffery (1923). The reference is included in:
Rosenfeld, J. L. (1970). "Rotated Garnets in Metamorphic Rocks."
Geological Society of America Special Paper 129. Boulder, Colorado:
105 pp.
For utilization of the techniques contained in that monograph, see:
Rosenfeld, J. L. (1968). Chapter 14: "Garnet Rotations Due to the
Major Paleozoic Deformations in Southeast Vermont in Studies of
Appalachian Geology: Northern and Maritime." E-an Zen, W.S. White,
J.B. Thompson, and J.B. Hadley, ed., New York, Wiley-Interscience:
185-202.
For further applications see also:

Orientation in Deformed Metals and Rocks: An Introduction to Modern
Texture Analysis. H.-R. Wenk, ed., Orlando, Academic Press, Inc.:
441-461. [Also there is a very important paper by Dave Willis
referred to therein.]

Those interested in seeing some of the many connections between
structural geology/tectonics will be particularly interested in the
recent paper by Meth and Carlson:
Meth, Charna, and William D. Carlson. (2005) Diffusion-controlled
synkinematic growth of garnet from a heterogeneous precursor at Passo
del Sole, Switzerland. The Canadian Mineralogist (Dugald Carmichael
Festschrift), Vol. 43, 157-182.
The book by my colleague, Gerhard Oertel, on stress and deformation
is immensely useful. See the Oxford University description on the web:
