Globe has Shakespeare’s first page present (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sphere

'globe' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'shakespeare's first page present' is the wordplay.
'first' indicates taking the first letters.
'page' becomes 'p'.
'present' becomes 'here' ('here' can be similar in meaning to 'present').
The initial letter of 'shakespeares' is 's'.
's'+'p'+'here'='SPHERE'

'has' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sphere that I've seen before include "Field; globe" , "Vault of heaven" , "Solid figure - range of activity" , "Ball shape" , "Round solid figure with every point on its surface equidistant from its centre" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
