Dramatist having some lines bigot brought up (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ibsen

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

'some lines bigot brought up' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'brought up' says the letters should be written in reverse (down clues only).
'nesbi' can be found hidden inside 'lines bigot'.
'nesbi' written backwards gives 'IBSEN'.

'having' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ibsen that I've seen before include "See 7 Down" , "Norwegian dramatist and poet" , "Playmaker" , "'Doll's House' playwright" , "'Ghosts' writer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
