Graham Wallas, 1858-1932.

British political scientist and one of the Fabian Society's "inner circle".  Wallas was one of the contributors to their early collection, the Fabian Essays (1889). He later became disenchanted and resigned from the society.  

Wallas is notable for stressing the importance of human and social psychology, rather than merely institutional forces, in the analysis of political events. Wallas became the dominant figure in the political science department at the L.S.E. in its early years.
