Subject of an article by me (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theme

'subject' is the definition.
(theme can mean a topic or subject)

'an article by me' is the wordplay.
'an article' becomes 'the' (the definite article).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'the'+'me'='THEME'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for theme that I've seen before include "tune used in Enigma Variations?" , "Musical idea; topic" , "matter for discussion" , "Subject matter, topic" , "Motif or melody" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
