In this novel, Ondaatje em- ploys 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 juxtaposi- tion, historical re-inscription, selective inattention to conventional history.
