I believe the answer is:

narrative

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

'story' is the definition.
(I know that story can be written as narrative)

'citizen a bishop penned' is the wordplay.
'citizen' becomes 'native' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'bishop' becomes 'rr' (abbreviation for Right Reverend).
'penned' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are enclosed or penned in).
'a'+'rr'='arr'
'native' enclosing 'arr' is 'NARRATIVE'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for narrative that I've seen before include "Chronicle" , "Story recounting events" , "Account describing events" , "Tale" , "Telling a story" .)
