Crossword Genius

His romances, rewritten for noblewoman (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

marchioness

'for noblewoman' is the definition.
(marchioness is a kind of noblewoman)

'his romances rewritten' is the wordplay.
'rewritten' is an anagram indicator.
'his'+'romances'='hisromances'
'hisromances' anagrammed gives 'MARCHIONESS'.

(Other definitions for marchioness that I've seen before include "She's entitled" , "noble wife, perhaps" , "Aristocratic lady" , "Noble lady" , "Wife of a marquis" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
