At the age of twenty-three he was a founding father of the Abbey Players, and he was recognized as one of the most talented young writers of drama, poetry, and short fiction. Unfortunately, Colum quarreled with Yeats and Lady Gregory, and, since he could not earn a living in Dublin by writing alone, he left for\u003cbr\u003eAmerica. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eColum's contribution to Irish letters is unique, because he alone of the early giants of the Irish Literary Revival was Roman Catholic, peasant born, and country bred. His literary themes are tributes to the indomitable Irish spirit, the natural nobility of the Irish peasant, the ancient folk customs of the countryside, and the poetic beauty of Irish English.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sanford Sternlicht\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0815602022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780815602026\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 10\/01\/1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.07h x 5.34w x 0.49d","brand":"Sanford Sternlicht","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120328077567,"sku":"9780815602026","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3d93f4f7-2dcf-418c-8f89-37729e8c269d.jpg?v=1687413739","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/selected-short-stories-of-padraic-padraic-colum-9780815602026","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
