Dr. George Peabody Gooch werd op 21 oktober 1873 in Londen geboren. Zijn voornaamste wetenschappelijke opleiding ontving hij aan Trinity College te Cambridge; verder studeerde hij nog in Berlijn en Parijs. Na zijn studie begaf hij zich in de politiek en zetelde van 1906 tot 1910 in het Lagerhuis als liberaal afgevaardigde voor Bath. Toen hijniet herkozen werd verliet hij de politiek, zonder zijn levendige belangstelling voor de landszaken te verliezen. In 1911 werd hij redacteur van The Contemporary Review. In deze functie ontwikkelde hij zich tot een der voornaamste historici van Engeland. Zeer bekend zijn zijn historische werken over Frederik de Grote, Maria Theresia, Katharina de Grote en Lodewijk XV. Deze studies munten uit door degelijk historisch onderzoek en levendige stijl. Gooch was eredoctor van Oxford en Durham en lid van de British Academy; hij is ook voorzitter geweest van de Historical Association.
