Biographical Information

Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson (August 6, 1862 – August 3, 1932) was a British historian and political activist. He led most of his life at Cambridge, where he wrote a dissertation on Neo-Platonism before becoming a fellow. He was closely associated with the Bloomsbury Group.  A noted pacifist, Dickinson protested against Britain's involvement in World War I. His essay on the League of Nations Covenant within the Treaty of Versailles (The Future of the Covenant, London: League of Nations Union, 1920) helped to shape public opinion towards the League.
