Barchester Towers author (8)
I believe the answer is:
trollope
'barchester towers author' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for trollope that I've seen before include "Author of 'The Warden'" , "Barchester novelist" , "Barsetshire novels writer" , "He wrote" , "Anthony -, Barchester Towers author" .)
