Call inspires revolutionary story telling (8)
I believe the answer is:
relating
'telling' is the definition.
(relating is a kind of telling)
'call inspires revolutionary story' is the wordplay.
'call' becomes 'ring' ('ring' can be a synonym of 'call'**).
'inspires' indicates putting letters inside (inspire means to breathe in).
'revolutionary' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'story' becomes 'tale' ('tale' can be a synonym of 'story').
'tale' backwards is 'elat'.
'ring' enclosing 'elat' is 'RELATING'.
(Other definitions for relating that I've seen before include "Narrating, recounting" , "account" , "Telling, narrating" , "Connecting things in thought or meaning" , "Rendering" .)
