It gives the larger view of a writer's work (7,5)

'it gives the larger view' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'writer's work' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'work' could be 'read' (read is a kind of work) and 'read' is found in the answer.
'writer' could be 'i' (the person who is writing these clues) and 'i' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'of a' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
