摘要：The article examines narrative schemes, motifs, models and concepts of the young hero that pass from the French chansons de geste to the heroic texts in French-Italian. In these texts – here studied both in general and through focalized readings – a constant emphasis on the tribulations the hero must endure is an indispensable condition of heroic poiesis. In the Geste Francor, and in Rolandin in particular, a reworking of the heroic typologies also emerges through Roland’s original enfances.
