‘Entertainment’ in the Early Modern Age is preferably situated in so called literary ‘salons’. The article aims to develop a theory of ‘Unterhaltung’ from a study that traces the spatial conditions and effects of entertainment. It sheds light on the case of Madeleine de Scudéry, who embodied conversational theory and practice and therefore became a role-model for early 18th century Germany. Her “carte de tendre” distributed the popular game of pre-sensitive conversation. This is embedded in Scudérys novel Clélie that influenced both poetics and ‘entertainment’ theories.
