Juliet has long rambles with notable novelist (4,10)
I believe the answer is:
john galsworthy
'novelist' is the definition.
'juliet has long rambles with notable' is the wordplay.
'juliet' becomes 'j' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'rambles' indicates anagramming the letters.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'notable' becomes 'worthy' ('worthy' can be similar in meaning to 'notable'**).
'has'+'long'='haslong'
'haslong' anagrammed gives 'ohngals'.
'j'+'ohngals'+'worthy'='JOHN GALSWORTHY'
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
