38 ac: "A high class piece about endlessly brilliant classical writer" (8)

The letters I have are A - G - S - A - I'm fairly sure they're all correct.

Please can anyone help?

I put Augustan in there

Thanks. Please can you explain how you arrived at that answer?

A

high class - U
piece - GUN
around endless brilliant - STA(r)

Augustan refers to classical writers of the 17th and 18th centuries ( and earlier of course)

A U(high class) piece (GUN) with almost brilliant (Star) without the 'R'

Thanks everyone. I haven't come across GUN meaning PIECE before now.

Love the username.

Thanks!
