Romantic poet translated stories about the heart in Latin (8)
I believe the answer is:
rossetti
'romantic poet' is the definition.
(I know that Rossetti is romantic)
'translated stories about the heart in latin' is the wordplay.
'translated' is an anagram indicator.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'the heart in' means to look at the middle letters.
The centre of 'latin' is 't'.
'stories' with letters rearranged gives 'rosseti'.
'rosseti' placed around 't' is 'ROSSETTI'.
(Other definitions for rossetti that I've seen before include "English Pre-Raphaelite poet and painter, d. 1882" , "One of three poetic siblings" , "She wroteBleak Midwinter" , "Dante Gabriel --, English poet/painter" , "Artist" .)
