Kingslake's book on the history of photographic lenses is very good and very
readable particularly if you are formula averse. However I cant recall any
section in it which considers lenses in terms of this discussion, i.e. the idea
of roundness and plasticity of the image, due to the large physical size of the
aperture.
I think if you want to explore this type of thinking further it would be better
to Google bokeh and leica and take it from there. There is a kind of mysticism
involved in some lens discussions where these terms occur which your are
unlikely to find in in regular lens design texts.
All the best
