"Middlemarch" novelist (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eliot

'middlemarch novelist' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eliot that I've seen before include "Female novelist" , "See 14" , "T.S. or George?" , "T S . . . . ., great poet of 'The Waste Land'" , "thin material rejected" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and The New York Times.
