Chuck out Austen novel (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unseat

'chuck out' is the definition.
(to unseat is to throw out or oust)

'austen novel' is the wordplay.
'novel' indicates an anagram.
'austen' with letters rearranged gives 'UNSEAT'.

(Other definitions for unseat that I've seen before include "Throw (as a 15?)" , "Cause to fall from the saddle" , "Remove from horse (or house?)" , "Dislodge from saddle" , "Remove from power" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
