[Sharon Robinson · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was one of the more interesting volumes in this series. The "Great Divide" is the term Russell uses for the difference in opinion between the people who were looking for the most pure, ultimate abstract meaning in art, and those who were more interested in art which retained some semblance of meaning.
