Poet seen in a university study (5)
I believe the answer is:
auden
'poet' is the definition.
(Auden is an example)
'a university study' is the wordplay.
'university' becomes 'u'.
'study' becomes 'den' (I've seen this before).
'a'+'u'+'den'='AUDEN'
'seen in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for auden that I've seen before include "W. H. -, English poet" , "W. H. -, Eng. poet" , "W. H. ... (British poet)" , "Poet, associate of Spender and Isherwood" , "W. H. -, English-born poet" .)
