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

'dramatist' is the definition.
(I know that Ibsen is a dramatist)

'whines biography is holding him back' is the wordplay.
'IBSEN' is hidden backwards in amongst the letters.
But, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ibsen that I've seen before include "not one for 'All work and no play ...'" , "Noted Norwegian playwright" , "Norwegian dramatist, Henrik (1828-1906)" , ""Doll's House" dramatist" , "Norwegian dramatist, d. 1906" .)
