DRANE, AUGUSTA THEODOSIA (1823-1894) , English writer, was born at Bromley, near Bow, on the 29th of December 1823. Brought up in the Anglican creed, she fell under the influence of Tractarian teaching at Torquay; and joined the Roman Catholic Church in 185o. She wrote, and published anonymously, an essay questioning the Morality of Tractarianisin, which was attributed to John
Henry
  Newman. In 1852, after a prolonged stay in Rome, she joined the third order of St Dominic, to which she belonged for over
forty
  years. She was prioress (18721881) of the Stone convent in Staffordshire, where she died on the 29th of April 1894. Her
chief
  works in
prose
  and verse are: The History of Saint Dominic (1857; enlarged edition, 1891); The Life of St Catherine of Siena (188o; 2nd ed., 1899); Christian Schools and Scholars (1867); The Knights of St John (1858); Songs in the Night (1876); and the Three Chancellors (1859), a sketch of the lives of William of Wykeham, William of
Waynflete
  and Sir
Thomas
  More.
A complete
list
  of her writings is given in the Memoir of Mother Francis Raphael, O.S.D., Augusta Theodosia Drane, edited by B. Wilberforce, O.P. (London, 1895).
