The film '' Dances With Wolves '' is a revisionist Western because it portrays the Native Americans sympathetically instead of as the Savages of traditional Westerns, which have been criticized as Racist . Similarly, the novel '' Wicked '' by Gregory Maguire is a revisionist account of '' The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz '', which portrays The Wicked Witch Of The West fighting for what is right and the Wizard being a ruthless dictator of Oz. The novel '' Creation '' by Gore Vidal portrays a secret history of the Persian Empire , not implausible but neither supported by historical evidence, in which Darius murders King Cambyses and steals the throne from rightful heir Prince Smerdis , in collusion with Queen Atossa . Many works of Fantasy retell Fairy Tale s in a revisionist manner.John Grant and John Clute, '' The Encyclopedia Of Fantasy '', "Revisionist Fantasy", p 810 ISBN 0-312-19869-8 REFERENCES |
