Description
Revisionist Histories by Marnie Hughes-Warrington explores the underexplored topic of revision in historical practice. This accessible volume examines the role of authors and audiences as writers and rewriters of history, challenging traditional linear models and spatial metaphors. Through case studies including the French Revolution, Holocaust Denial, and European settler contact with Native Americans and Indigenous Australians, Hughes-Warrington offers a detailed account of revisionism's development. The book also presents a new perspective on historiography, highlighting the interconnectedness of digital environments, graphic novels, and reader-annotated texts. This thought-provoking work is an essential text for students of historiography, providing insights into the complexities of historical narrative and its ongoing evolution.
