Author from the east, impressed neither by poet, nor by limerick (5,6)
I believe the answer is:
emily bronte
'author' is the definition.
(I know that Emily Bronte is a author)
'the east impressed neither by poet nor by limerick' is the wordplay.
'EMILY BRONTE' is hidden back-to-front within the letters.
However, I am uncertain how this is indicated.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for emily bronte that I've seen before include "Wuthering Heights author" , "Novelist, one of three sisters" .)
