These first written works in the dialects of the Macedonian recension were religious.[1] The school was established by St. Clement of Ohrid.[2][3] The Macedonian recension at that time was part of the Old Church Slavonic and it didn't represent one regional dialect but a generalized form of early eastern South Slavic.[4] The standardization of the Macedonian language in the 20 century provided good ground for further development of the modern Macedonian literature and this period is the richest one in the history of the literature itself. After World War II, under the new Yugoslav SR Macedonia, the scholar Blaze Koneski and others were charged with the task of standardizing Macedonian as the official literary language. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-3345.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-3345.txt
