Following the 1847 attack by the Blue Books' against the moral character of the Welsh people, Welsh poetry composed for the Eisteddfodau, "found itself trapped within the part allotted the Welsh-language in the counterattack against the Blue Books." For this reason, much of the poetry written sought to promote an image of the Welsh people as "God-fearing, Queen-loving", and, "Empire-supporting."
