Some help desperately needed.seemed to be easy,filled right hand side but came to a crunching halt when trying left.Any help appreciated.
14dn,Suitable partners for little men(9)????WIVES I think letters are right.
18ac,Churchyard offered one for rebels(7)I have S???R?T but I suspect I`m wrong prefer shelter.
13ac,Dean with depressed novelist(7)I???L?W
4dn,Poet in car crash with poet(7) C?A?H?W the W is shared with 13 so not convinced think it should be R.5dn,Dramatist in Haggard`S book on panther(7)S?E?A?D


Finally a little problem,
27ac,Lost asians in public transport in Titus Andronicus(9) BASSINIUS seems ok but hold on

19dn,Publishers may make an issue of it (9) but only 7 spaces ??I?I??I if bassinius is correct Please help if you can this grid is doing my nut in.I just opened a new bottle of pinot grigio so thats not helping the solving process but it`s delicious.

Thanx as always for having a go.

Still no correct solutions for last week-still waiting for correction by overlord-usually quick if at fault??

I agree,not a good clue.
13a Are you sure about the "I" at the start, I can see it ends in 'low (depressed) but can't find a novelist that fits.

[ulysses100]

13a Inge low

[penelope2]

Think 4d is anagram of CAR + SHAW (Poet). Not very good surface reading though.
