Both of these writers' works are characterised by a specifically revivalist mode. These efforts were followed in the early 20th century by further works of revivalist literature by Cornish language enthusiasts.

Jowann Richards (1926-2005) produced a Cornish translation of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam () in 1990.
