Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature lit crit

This is the first sentence of a short text about Mexican writer Ámparo Dávila, and I cannot for the life of me figure it out:

"La crítica de los maestros modernos lleva un sentido separado por dos movimientos subsecuentes" It goes on to say "Primero, rebasa las barreras fenoménicas.....Al dar el segundo paso, este grupo de maestros disuelve la separación tradicional entre prosa y civilización"

I cannot for the life of me figure it out: CRITICS of modern masters "llevan un sentido separado"(have gone in two different directions? take different stances?) BECAUSE OF two subsequent movements/tendencies. That's about the closest I have come to confeccionando any sentido of it. I feel very unsure about "la crítica" as well. "Critics" doesn't seem to make too much sense, but seems to make more sense than "Criticism".

Help! (BTW, I will likely not have computer access tomorrow or Sunday but promise I will award points Sunday night or Monday if I'm not able to do so sooner)

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
