摘要:Abstract: The English Patient, a novel written by Sri Lankan Canadian novelist Michael Ondaatje, relates the private histories of four marginalized characters involved in the WWII, and presents their confrontation with and challenge of the fallacy of conventional history. In this novel, Ondaatje employs multiple viewpoints, intersection and juxtaposition of historical episodes, historical re-in- scription, which serve to deconstruct the conventional history and construct the imagined history of Ondaatje. From the perspective of New Historicism, this paper examines Ondaatje’s viewpoint on history as revealed in The English Patient in the following three aspects: historical juxtaposition, historical re-inscription, selective inattention to conventional history.
