Clarence Brown Obituary
SEATTLE, WA
Clarence Brown Jr., 86, passed away in Seattle, Washington, on July 18th, 2015, after a long illness. He was born to Clarence Brown Sr. and Mildred Cunningham Brown on May 31st, 1929, in Anderson, South Carolina.
After earning degrees from Duke, the University of Michigan, and a PhD from Harvard University, he started a long teaching career at Princeton University and became a world renowned scholar about the Russian poet, Osip Mandelshtam, whom he "resurrected" to the scholarly community after Mandelshtam was made a non-person by Stalin and died in a concentration camp. Clarence was also a widely published cartoonist, an art he pursued from a young age.
Clarence is survived by his wife, Jacqueline, his son and daughter, Chris and Kitty Brown, his brother, Douglas, as well as four grandchildren. He will be long missed by those he leaves behind including his family, friends and colleagues, and countless students.
