Revises the semiotic paradigm of the early modern ‘literary system’ dominant since 1983 by adapting methods entailed in the idea that literary works emerge through a series of semiotic events. Davis analyzes Philip Sidney’s Arcadia and Astrophil and Stella to demonstrate how design elements stage the scene of reading these works.
