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).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSanford Sternlicht\u003c\/b\u003e teaches dramatic literature and theory in the Department of English at Syracuse University.
