DESCRIPTION:Recent work in agrarian history has radically revised our unde
 rstanding 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  to leasehold has been replaced by a more nuanced understanding the signif
 icance of the long-term survival of copyhold. This paper\, conversely\, an
 alyzes the evidence for the transition from copyhold to freehold in the si
 xteenth\, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries\, and argues for the signif
 icance of enfranchisement for the reconfiguration of rural social relation
 s and for the mobilization of political rights.
