âEntertainmentâ in the Early Modern Age is preferably situated in so called literary âsalonsâ. The article aims to develop a theory of âUnterhaltungâ 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 âcarte de tendreâ distributed the popular game of pre-sensitive conversation. This is embedded in Scudérys novel Clélie that influenced both poetics and âentertainmentâ theories.
