Highly educated and accustomed to intellectual society, the writer
and woman of letters Hester Lynch Piozzi (1741-1821) became a close
friend of Samuel Johnson through her first husband, the brewer
Henry Thrale. Her second marriage, to the Italian musician Gabriel
Mario Piozzi in 1784, estranged her from Johnson, but following his
death she published her groundbreaking Anecdotes of the Late Samuel
Johnson, anticipating Boswell's biography. As well as her letters,
poetry, essays, memoirs and travel diaries (several of which are
also reissued in the Cambridge Library Collection), she was one of
the first women to produce works on philology and history.
Originally published in 1833, this highly readable volume of
recollections by the writer and translator Edward Mangin
(1772-1852) draws on her letters to him and his family (as well as
on other memorabilia), extracts from which are quoted extensively
in the work.
