During the Victorian era, industrial and economic growth led to a
phenomenal rise in productivity and invention. That spirit of
creativity and ingenuity was reflected in the massive expansion in
scope and complexity of many scientific disciplines during this
time, with subjects evolving rapidly and the creation of many new
disciplines. The subject of mathematics was no exception and many
of the advances made by mathematicians during the Victorian period
are still familiar today; matrices, vectors, Boolean algebra,
histograms, and standard deviation were just some of the
innovations pioneered by these mathematicians.
..".Along with the poetry comes a growing awareness of the 'independent airs' of radical Belfast, of the great dissenting tradition of the past, of an integrationist stance. Birds flying in and out of The Clock Flower poems- blackbirds, sparrows, hawks, jays-put us in mind of John Hewitt's lines about staking his future on 'birds flying in and out of the schoolroom window.' Hewitt, and beyond him the nineteenth-century Dr. William Drennan (subject of Rice's MPhil thesis), are exemplars for this poet. But Rice's voice is distinctively his own: forthright, colloquial, wry and persuasive." -Patricia Craig, Times Literary Supplement
