"Jane Eyre” author (6)
I believe the answer is:
bronte
'jane eyre author' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for bronte that I've seen before include "Charlotte ...... wrote ` `Jane Eyre' '" , "Nineteenth century literary family" , "sisters" , "British family of writers" , "See 6" .)
