I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'so-called dramatist's unusual breadth' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'unusual breadth' is the wordplay.
'unusual' indicates an anagram.
'breadth' with letters rearranged gives 'THE BARD'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for the bard that I've seen is " Shakespeare".)
