What Wikipedia says

The revisionist Western is a sub-genre of the Western fiction. Called a post-classical variation of the traditional Western or simply 'postwestern', the revisionist subverts the myth and romance of the traditional by means of character development and realism to present a less simplistic view of life in the "Old West".
