So uplifted and carried along by dramatist (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

osborne

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

'dramatist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'so uplifted and carried along' is the wordplay.
'uplifted' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'carried along' becomes 'borne' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'along' bit.**).
'so' backwards is 'os'.
'os'+'borne'='OSBORNE'

'by' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for osborne that I've seen before include "13 across's IOW house" , "grand island house" , "Politician" , "John --, English dramatist" , "John -, playwright (Look Back in Anger)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
