Dante more confused by great church (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

notre dame

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

'great church' is the definition.
'notre dame' can be an answer for 'church' (I've seen this before). I'm unsure of the 'great' bit.

'dante more confused' is the wordplay.
'confused' is an anagram indicator.
'dante'+'more'='dantemore'
'dantemore' with letters rearranged gives 'NOTRE-DAME'.

'by' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for notre dame that I've seen before include "sacred place" , "Victor Hugo novel ` ` ..... .... ' '" , "French Catholic cathedral - American Catholic university" , "gothic landmark" , "French landmark" .)
