"Faust" dramatist (6)
I believe the answer is:
goethe
'faust dramatist' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for goethe that I've seen before include "The ego, strangely, of the German writer" , "Eighteenth to nineteenth century German poet and dramatist (Faust)" , "German author (Faust)" , "Wolfgang von - , Faust author" , "German writer, b 1749" .)
