Mrs Swan perhaps doth show style (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hathaway

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'mrs swan' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'doth show style' is the wordplay.
'doth show' becomes 'hatha' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'style' becomes 'way' (synonyms).
'hatha'+'way'='HATHAWAY'

'perhaps' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hathaway that I've seen before include "Anne . . . . . . . . was William Shakespeare's wife" , "Celebrated wife" , "Surname of Shakespeare's wife" , "Mrs Shakespeare's maiden name" , "Shakespearean woman!" .)
