Brontë character, revolutionary, in list (9)
I believe the answer is:
rochester
'bronte character' is the definition.
(Mr Rochester from Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre)
'revolutionary in list' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' becomes 'che' (Che Guevara the Marxist revolutionary).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'list' becomes 'roster' (roster is a kind of list).
'che' placed into 'roster' is 'ROCHESTER'.
(Other definitions for rochester that I've seen before include "Man Jane married" , "Reader, I married him" , "Jane blindly married him" , "Medway town (and former city)" , "Medway town - hero of ..." .)
