I believe the answer is:

sterne

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

'the author of tristram shandy' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'enters with a flourish' is the wordplay.
'enters' anagrams to 'STERNE'.
However, I am not sure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sterne that I've seen before include "Author of Tristram Shandy, d. 1768" , "Laurence ..., author of 'Tristram Shandy'" , "Writer" , "Laurence ...... wrote ` `Tristram Shandy' '" , "Laurence ---, novelist; sounds hard" .)
