Extremes of literary talent never reflected in name linked to Bloomsbury (6)
I believe the answer is:
lytton
'name linked to bloomsbury' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'extremes of literary talent never reflected' is the wordplay.
'extremes of' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters) (only the letters at the extremes of the word).
'talent' becomes 't' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'never' becomes 'not' (I've seen this in other clues).
'reflected' says the letters should be written backwards (letters reflected back).
'literary' with its middle taken out is 'ly'.
'not' back-to-front is 'ton'.
'ly'+'t'+'ton'='LYTTON'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for lytton that I've seen is " ___ Strachey, author of Eminent Victorians".)
