	Padraic Colum Criticism
		Padraic Colum was the first of the peasant dramatists, in the strict sense of the word; he was, that is to say, the first to dramatise the realities of rural life in Ireland.
		Colum purports to show that a man's acts are significant only as they are expressions of his own inner being, and that a world where action becomes a value in itself is a ludicrous and empty show.
		Padraic Colum has been acknowledged as a master of the Irish faerie: the quaint and leprechaunish peasants have been celebrated by him in prose and verse.

	A Drover By Padraic Colum (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Padraic Colum was working hard at being the rural peasant poet he in truth was not.
		In Colum's time, though, in Ireland, under Sir Horace Plunkett's co-operative society and other efforts at modernising and making farming efficient and profitable, more and more land that was "Never broken for corn" was being turned from grazing to tillage.
		A freedom of a kind was sacrificed for profit and efficiency, and though Colum does not bring this into the poem, it being rather a celebration of the drover's lifestyle, it is, in a way, a lament for that way of life that was passing.
