Orphan of British literature (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eyre

'orphan of british literature' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for eyre that I've seen before include "An historic journey" , "mediaeval court" , "Jane . . . ., . . . . Square" , "Galway square" , "Jane --, 1874 novel" .)

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