%X Figure appr¨¦ci¨¦e des romanciers du xixe si¨¨cle, l¡¯incestueuse prend tour ¨¤ tour le visage de Lucr¨¨ce, Salom¨¦ ou Ph¨¨dre. Toujours voluptueuse, cette derni¨¨re est une fille, une s ur, mais jamais, elle n¡¯est pr¨¦sent¨¦e comme une m¨¨re. Est-ce ¨¤ dire que les m¨¨res ne pratiquent pas l¡¯inceste ? La lecture de la litt¨¦rature m¨¦dicale, qui ne dialogue pas sur le ph¨¦nom¨¨ne, ainsi que celle des proc¨¨s de Cours d¡¯assises, qui traduisent 92% d¡¯hommes devant les jur¨¦s, ent¨¦rine cette vision masculine du crime. Pourtant, plong¨¦ dans une lecture attentive des sources, l¡¯historien croise des histoires de m¨¨res, souvent violentes, qui s¡¯attaquent sexuellement ¨¤ leurs enfants. Comment expliquer ce d¨¦calage ? Salome, Ph¨¨dre and Lucrezia Borgia were the most appreciated figures of incest in the French literature during the nineteenth-century. Sister or daugther, they were always described as voluptuous women. But concerning the incestuous mother, the writers remained silent. Didn¡¯t she exist? Even the medical literature and the Justice System, which judged 92% of male, agreed with this social imaginary in keeping quiet about incestuous mother. By a careful glance at the sources, the historian can however cross the path of these incestuous mothers, often more violent than the fathers with their children. How can this gap be explained?
