Subject, topic (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theme

This clue is a double definition.

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

'topic' is the second definition.
(I know that topic can be written as theme)

(Other definitions for theme that I've seen before include "Musical motif" , "Unifying motif" , "Motif - 4 across" , "notedly subject to variation" , "He met (anag) - subject" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Times.
