A concern for the historian from Ireland after writing final chapters of The Danish and Others (8)
I believe the answer is:
pastries
'a concern for the historian' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'ireland after writing final chapters of the danish and others' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'ireland' could be 'ie' (two letter country code) and 'ie' is present in the answer.
'after' could be 'past' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'past' is present in the answer.
'writing' could be 'r' (one of the traditional three R's of education) and 'r' is found within the answer.
A single letter 's' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'from' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for pastries that I've seen is " Bakery items".)
