Hester Lynch Thrale Piozzi, a Welsh diarist and socialite, is an important source on Samuel Johnson. Hester Lynch Piozzi (born Jan. 27, 1740, Bodvel, Carnarvonshire, Wales - died May 2, 1821, Clifton, Bristol, Eng.) English writer and friend of Samuel Johnson. In 1763 she married a wealthy brewer named Henry Thrale. In January 1765 Samuel Johnson was brought to dinner, and the next year, following a severe illness, Johnson spent most of the summer in the country with the Thrales.
