Multi-talented chap brings revival to isle (11,3)

I believe the answer is:

renaissance man

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

'multi-talented chap' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'revival to isle' is the wordplay.
'revival' becomes 'renaissance' (renaissance is a kind of revival).
'to isle' becomes 'man' (the Isle of Man is an example).
'renaissance'+'man'='RENAISSANCE MAN'

'brings' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for renaissance man that I've seen before include "Catholic intellectual" , "Person with many talents or interests" , "All-rounder" , "Wide-ranging intellectual" .)
