German dramatist best-known for Faust (6)

I believe the answer is:

goethe

(Other definitions for goethe that I've seen before include "Poet's" , "German author (Faust)" , "Eighteenth to nineteenth century German poet and dramatist (Faust)" , "poet and philosopher" , "Johann Wolfgang von -, German dramatist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
