Zona Gale was not only a militant in many « causes célèbres » at the beginning of the century ; she was also a modern transcendentalist. She believed in the existence of a fourth dimension, in its accessibility through the voice of conscience. But, partly as a result of her dissappointment with militancy, she gradually abandoned the idea of a spontaneous communication between individuals, and insisted, rather, on expression. She came to believe that expression through art allowed the artist to appropriate a share of the Divine. This brand of transcendentalism, which came to her from Swedenborg through her own father, was strongly influenced by Ouspensky ; it was strongly marked, also, by her passionate and schizoid nature.
