This article retraces the overall and compositional process which, starting from the unpublished novel Frine, led Verga to the final writing of Eva. Through a detailed investigation into autograph documents, it is possible to improve the knowledge of the young author’s correction habits (who would also consider suggestions given by friends reading Frine), and to precisely date both some editorial phases of the preface in Eva, and some stylistic features regarding the narrative strategies employed in the finally published novel.
L’articolo ricostruisce l’iter elaborativo complessivo che, a partire dal romanzo inedito Frine, condusse Verga alla scrittura finale di Eva. Tramite una ricognizione dettagliata del materiale autografo è possibile conoscere meglio le abitudine correttorie del giovane autore (disposto ad avvalersi dei consigli di amici lettori per Frine) e datare più esattamente sia alcune fasi redazionali della prefazione a Eva sia alcune acquisizioni verghiane riguardanti le strategie narrative adottate nel romanzo poi dato alle stampe.

Abstract
This article retraces the overall and compositional process which, starting from the unpublished novel Frine, led Verga to the final writing of Eva. Through a detailed investigation into autograph documents, it is possible to improve the knowledge of the young author’s correction habits (who would also consider suggestions given by friends reading Frine), and to precisely date both some editorial phases of the preface in Eva, and some stylistic features regarding the narrative strategies employed in the finally published novel.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
