Estrenada en 1709 con notable éxito, la comedia de Antonio de Zamora Duendes son alcahuetes y el espíritu foleto, inaugura un nuevo género llamado a tener una notable presencia escénica en el siglo XVIII, la comedia de magia. La obra se presenta como imitación de las comedias italianas de los Trufaldines, compañía de commedia dell'arte que había llegado a Madrid en 1702 con Felipe V. El duende, o spirito folleto, protagonista de la obra de Zamora, estaba representado por el cómico italiano Gennaro Sacchi, Coviello, que tenía a este personaje en su repertorio, como muestran tres scenari conservados en Módena. Sin embargo, tanto estos scenari como Duendes son alcahuetes derivan, en última instancia, de La dama duende, de Calderón, que tuvo enorme influencia en todo el teatro europeo durante los siglos XVII y XVIII.
