'browning fan's newspaper article accepted by poet unfinished' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'newspaper article accepted by poet unfinished' is the wordplay.
'newspaper' becomes 'sun' (UK newspaper The Sun).
'article' becomes 'the' (the definite article in English).
'accepted by' is an insertion indicator (inserted letters are accepted).
'poet' becomes 'bard' (bard is a kind of poet).
'unfinished' means to remove the last letter.
'bard' with its final letter taken off is 'bar'.
'the' placed inside 'bar' is 'bather'.
'sun'+'bather'='SUNBATHER'
