I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dramatist' is the definition.
(Ibsen is an example)

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ibsen that I've seen before include "foreign author" , "Henrik -, dramatist from fourteen down (Hedda Gabler)" , "Norwegian dramatist and poet" , "Playmaker" , "Norwegian dramatist, d. 1906" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
