Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson, sometimes known as Goldie, was a British political scientist and philosopher. He spent the majority of his time in Cambridge, where he completed a dissertation on Neoplatonism before becoming a fellow. He was strongly affiliated with the Bloomsbury Group. Dickinson was extremely disturbed by Britain's engagement in the First World War. Within a fortnight of the outbreak of war, he proposed the formation of a League of Nations, and his subsequent publications contributed to shaping public opinion in favor of the League's establishment. Dickinson is well-known in the field of international relations for popularizing the idea that the international system is a "anarchy." Dickinson was born in London, the son of portrait painter Lowes Cato Dickinson (1819-1908) and Margaret Ellen Williams, daughter of William Smith Williams, literary advisor to Smith, Elder & Company and discoverer of Charlotte Bronte. When the boy was around a year old, his family relocated to the Spring Cottage in Hanwell, a rural village. The family also comprised his three-year-old brother, Arthur, an older sister, May, and two younger sisters, Hester and Janet. At the age of 10 or eleven, he attended a day school on Somerset Street in Portman Square.
