Josephine Billingham has a PhD in English Literature from UCL. She is an independent scholar with particular interest in liminality, infant death, literature in its historical context, and the interplay between historical and literary sources.

"Infanticide in Tudor and Stuart England by Josephine Billingham aims to draw together studies of infanticide in early modern England from a variety of disciplines, including literature, history, and anthropology, in order to produce a fuller and more detailed picture of a crime that has frequently been itself a victim of too-broad brushstrokes and assumptions. While attempting to cross disciplines and expand our historical understanding of this crime is not new, Billingham lays out a strong theoretical framework for interpretation. She also succeeds in creating much needed nuance to definitions of the crime, motivations, and societal reactions."- Margaret B. Lewis, University of Tennessee at Martin, Renaissance Quarterly, Volume LXXIV, No. 2
