Auden or other bards’ work (7)
I believe the answer is:
rondeau
'bards' work' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.
'auden or other' is the wordplay.
'other' indicates an anagram.
'auden'+'or'='audenor'
'audenor' with letters rearranged gives 'RONDEAU'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rondeau that I've seen before include "Sort of poem" , "set of lines" , "Form of poem" , "Musical composition; poem of 13/15 lines" , "Short lyrical poem" .)
