Social:Revisionism (fictional)
From HandWiki
Short description: Works of fiction revised and retold
In analysis of works of fiction, revisionism denotes the retelling of a conventional or established narrative with significant variations which deliberately "revise" the view shown in the original work. For example, The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood revised the folklore tale of Robin Hood to depict Robin as less ambiguously heroic, influencing all subsequent modern portrayals.[1] Many original works of fantasy appear to retell fairy tales in a revisionist manner.[2]
