Revision and revisionism are generally seen as standard parts of
historical practice, yet they are underexplored within the growing
literature on historiography. In this accessibly written volume,
Marnie Hughes-Warrington discusses this paucity of work on revision
in history theory and raises ethical questions about linear models
and spatial metaphors that have been used to explain it.
Revisionist Histories emphasises the role of the authors and
audiences of histories alike as the writers and rewriters of
history. Through study of digital environments, graphic novels and
reader annotated texts, this book shows that the 'sides' of history
cannot be disentangled from one another, and that they are subject
to flux and even destruction over time. Incorporating diverse and
controversial case studies, including the French Revolution,
Holocaust Denial and European settlers' contact with Native
Americans and Indigenous Australians, Revisionist Histories offers
both a detailed account of the development of revisionism and a
new, more spatial vision of historiography. An essential text for
students of historiography.
