Surely whether history and historical research are revisionist or not depends on whether or not an alteration in a standard view is involved.

   As I understand it, some history books are written simply to produce a freshly-written account of a (the?) standard view, the kind of stuff that 'revisionists' are revising.

   And we musn't forget that all history is written from a point of view (see E.H.Carr's What Is History?). Thus we get a conservative view of history, a socialist view, a conspiratorial view etc. ad nauseum.
