Abstract
Recent work in agrarian history has radically revised our understanding of the dynamics of tenurial change in early modern England. The conventional picture of a long-term transformation of tenure from copyhold to leasehold has been replaced by a more nuanced understanding the significance of the long-term survival of copyhold. This paper, conversely, analyzes the evidence for the transition from copyhold to freehold in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and argues for the significance of enfranchisement for the reconfiguration of rural social relations and for the mobilization of political rights.
