![]() ![]() The figure of the witch is a force of nature and a part of nature. She is a figure who is both marginal and marginalized-a non-normative threat to the social order. ![]() This research has revealed how the figure of the witch moves through multiple narrative forms across the history of American literature and culture as a figure for the ugly, wicked, or the abject side of nature. Frank Baum’s 1900 children’s book The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, and Andrew Fleming’s 1996 film The Craft, are American products from the twentieth and twenty-first-century however, my research spans from the seventeenth-century to contemporary time.

When at last I came skidding to a stop, chips of ice flew up in a breaking wave of tiny colored diamonds. I drew in great lungfuls of the biting air, blowing it out again in little silver trumpets of condensation. Round and round the room I went- round and round and up and down. Overhead, the twelve dozen candles I had pinched from the butler’s pantry and stuffed into the ancient chandeliers flickered madly in the wind of my swift passage. Beneath the icy surface, the intricately patterned parquet of the hardwood floor was still clearly visible- even though its colors were somewhat dulled by diffraction. Up and down the long gallery I flew, the silver blades of my skates making the sad scraping sound of a butcher’s knife being sharpened energetically on stone. Tendrils of raw fog floated up from the ice like agonized spirits departing their bodies.

The manuscript is located within the British Library with the rest of the Cotton collection. Due to the fame of Beowulf, the Nowell Codex is also sometimes known simply as the Beowulf manuscript.

It is most famous as the manuscript containing the unique copy of the epic poem Beowulf.
