Hester Lynch Thrale Piozzi (née Salusbury) was born on January 16, 1741, in Caernarvonshire, Wales.
She was a Welsh-born diarist, author, socialite, and patron of the arts. As a member of the powerful Salusbury family, she belonged to one of the most illustrious Welsh land-owning dynasties of the Georgian era. She enjoyed the devoted attention of her uncles and was educated to a high level for a young woman.
In 1763, she married the rich brewer and politician Henry Thrale (1724/30?-1781) and they had twelve children. Due to her husband's financial status, she was able to enter London society, where she met Samuel Johnson, James Boswell, Bishop Thomas Percy, Oliver Goldsmith, and other literary figures, including the young Frances Burney (1752-1840), whom she took with her to Gay Street, Bath. Burney recorded Thrale's distress on losing her husband in 1781, having to sell the brewery and wind up his affairs.
In 1784, she fell in love and remarried an Italian music teacher, Gabriel Mario Piozzi (1740-1809). In 1795, they retired to Brynbella, a newly built country house on her Bach y Graig estate in the Vale of Clwyd, near Tremeirchion in northern Wales.
Her Anecdotes of the Late Samuel Johnson (1786) and her diary Thraliana, published posthumously in 1942, are the main works for which she is remembered. She also wrote a popular history book, a travel book, and a dictionary. She has been seen as a proto-feminist.
She died on May 2, 1821, in Clifton, Bristol, England.
