Honoré de ___, French author of La Comédie humaine (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

balzac

(Other definitions for balzac that I've seen before include "Honore de ......, great French author of ` `The Human Comedy' '" , "Comedie humaine author" , "French novelist, d. 1850" , "Honore de ......, novelist of 'The Human Comedy'" , "Nineteenth century French novelist" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
