___ de Bergerac, French soldier and writer with a big nose, d. 1655 (6)
I believe the answer is:
cyrano
(Other definitions for cyrano that I've seen before include "-- de Bergerac, French poet/soldier" , "Long-nosed hero" , "- de Bergerac, large-nosed seventeenth century French writer" .)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
