Challenging the conventional view of John Milton as an iconoclast who spoke only to a 'fit audience though few', Daniel Shore argues that Milton was a far more pragmatic writer than previous scholarship has recognized. Summoning evidence from nearly all of his works - poetry and prose alike - Shore asserts that Milton distanced himself from the prescriptions of classical rhetoric to develop new means of persuasion suited to an age distrustful of traditional eloquence. Shore demonstrates that Milton's renunciation of agency, audience, purpose and effect in the prose tracts leads not to quietism or withdrawal, but rather to a reasserted investment in public debate. Shore reveals a writer who is committed to persuasion and yet profoundly critical of his own persuasive strategies. An innovative contribution to the field, this text will appeal to scholars of Milton, seventeenth-century literature, Renaissance literature and the history and theory of rhetoric.

Grants are funds provided by organizations, governments, or individuals to support specific projects or initiatives. They're typically non-repayable, aiming to help recipients achieve goals in areas like research, education, community development, or the arts. Grant seekers often need to submit proposals outlining their project's purpose, budget, and expected outcomes. Grants can be competitive, requiring careful planning and alignment with the funder's objectives.

Bankruptcy is a complex legal process governed by specific laws that vary from country to country. It typically involves a debtor petitioning a court to declare them unable to meet their financial obligations. This declaration triggers an automatic stay, halting most collection activities by creditors. The purpose of bankruptcy is twofold: to provide debtors with a fresh start by discharging some or all of their debts, and to ensure fair treatment of creditors by distributing available assets equitably. Bankruptcy proceedings can involve liquidating assets to repay creditors. Bankruptcy can have long-lasting financial and personal consequences, impacting credit scores, future borrowing ability, and even employment prospects. However, it can also offer relief from overwhelming debt burdens and a path toward financial stability for those facing insurmountable financial challenges. It's crucial for individuals and businesses considering bankruptcy to seek legal advice to understand their options and navigate the process effectively.
