I believe the answer is:

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">intelligentsia</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for literati that I've seen before include "The bookish intelligentsia" , "they devour a lot" , "intellectuals" , "group of learned people" , "Learned folk" .)
