Wallace's case studies range across the writings of Raymond Williams and Paul Valery, Marx and Marxist aesthetics, the discourse on abstract visual art in Cezanne, Kandinsky, Mondrian and Newman, the literary experimentalisms of Gertrude Stein, Wallace Stevens and Samuel Beckett, and the twenty-first-century legacies of modernist abstraction in two forms: the post-Deleuzian resurgence of interest in the philosophies of William James, Henri Bergson and A.
