His contribution to the development of Irish drama continued until his voluntary exile to America in 1914. His play, \u003ci\u003eBroken Soil\u003c\/i\u003e (1903), was the first commercial success at the Abbey, and it established the long-lived tradition of the peasant play on the Irish stage. This collection comprises the three major forms of his dramatic art: \u003ci\u003eThe Land\u003c\/i\u003e (1905); \u003ci\u003eBetrayal\u003c\/i\u003e (1912); and two of his five Noh plays (a five-play cycle containing poetry and prose following the Yeats and Japanese Model), \u003ci\u003eGlendalough\u003c\/i\u003e (based on the career of Charles Stewart Parnell), and \u003ci\u003eMonasterboice\u003c\/i\u003e (based on the early life of Colum's lifelong friend, James Joyce).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sanford Sternlicht\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815631332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815631330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Syracuse University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.12h x 5.58w x 0.43d","brand":"Sanford Sternlicht","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926472425727,"sku":"9780815631330","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_fbb0de9e-ea41-4ea7-b559-94802699ec9f.jpg?v=1681083263","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/selected-plays-of-padraic-colum-sanford-sternlicht-9780815631330","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
