'this literary character' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'only dry bran to be mixed' is the wordplay.
'to be mixed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'only'+'dry'+'bran'='onlydrybran'
'onlydrybran' with letters rearranged gives 'BARRY LYNDON'.

'for' acts as a link.
