Biography
He was born on June 5, 1906, in
Eastern European Studies. From 1954 to 1976, when he retired, he was affiliated with the University of Pittsburgh, one of the centers of Eastern European studies in the United States. After retirement, Clarke was a consultant to Duquesne University
.
Clarke, as well as his missionary predecessors who were direct observers of the Balkan historical scene, adhered to the perception of the Bulgarian identity of the
Macedonian Slavs. Without denying the right of this population to self-identity, he defined the concept on the "Macedonian language" as a myth, arguing with his American counterpart Horace Lunt.[2] He is the author of a collection of studies on Bulgarian history, called The pen and the sword, edited by Dennis P. Hupchick.[3]
On December 5, 1982, Clarke died at his home in Pittsburgh.[4]
