dc.description.abstract	In this research, an attempt will be made to answer what the function is of Michael Ondaatje’s postmodernist approach to history and memory in In the Skin of a Lion (1987) and The English Patient (1992), in particular with regard to voicing marginalised groups. This question will be approached from postmodernist theory on history, in particular historiographic metafiction. Postcolonial terms and concepts will be used to describe the marginalised groups present in both novels. The novels will be analysed from a postmodern perspective on history, and in the light of historiographic metafiction. Key words: postmodernism, historiographic metafiction, postcolonialism, Canadian literature	en_US
