“Clues to perimeter entries comprise wordplay only. Each contains an extra word. Reading either the second or penultimate letters of these in clue order, followed by the alternative choices, gives a two-word phrase identifying the 34 contiguous cells containing seven names to be highlighted, thus showing a central figure in tune with the theme. Two of the perimeter entries are a forename and surname of someone associated with a thematic group; solvers must name another of this group’s works under the grid, using DYNAMO as a prompt. Chambers Dictionary (2016) is recommended.”
