22a "Flourishes by writer: a gripping subject for literary collection" (14)

S?A?E?P?A?E?N? Looks like it should Shakespeare - related but can't find a word that fits

Any help much appreciated

Shakespeareana.

Thanks malone; I need to get a better dictionary

I didn't parse it all, I just added an A to Shakespearean!

"Shakes" is to wave or flourish according to Collins thesaurus.
