Children's author briefly raised dramatist (5)

I believe the answer is:

ibsen

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

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

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for ibsen that I've seen before include "6 24 113 [SCAN-DIN-AVIAN] writer" , "Is Ben a playwright?" , "Norwegian playwright, d. 1906" , "foreign author" , "Norwegian author of 'Peer Gynt' etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
