Description
Goldworthy Lowes Dickinson (1862-1932), was an English historian and political activist. He led most of his life at Cambridge, where he did a dissertation on neoplatonism before becoming a fellow. He was closely tied with the Bloomsbury Group. A noted pacifist, he protested Britain's involvement in World War I. His essay on the Covenant from the Treaty of Versailles The Future of the Covenant, London: League of Nations Union, (1920) helped shape public opinion towards the League of Nations. He was a lecturer in history from 1886 to his retirement in 1920, and the college librarian from 1893 to 1896. He helped establish the Economics and Politics Tripos and taught political science within the University. For 15 years he also lectured at the London School of Economics. His other works include The Greek View of Life (1896/98), The Meaning of Good (1901), A Modern Symposium (1905), Religion and Immortality (1911), The European Anarchy (1916), Plato and his Dialogues (1931), and Hands Off China! (1932).
