THE SCRUTINEER says “three strikes for Albion’s apparatchiks:”

During the latter half of the 19th century, Russian literary critics increasingly evaluated fiction by a standard of political/social/religious “truth” rather than artistic merit. Put another way, they became more interested in ideological content than with form, and cruder critics seemed to regard literature as little more than an allegorical version of political tract-writing. I don’t think they used the term “political correctness,” but it would have fit their method of analysis.

Contemporary British critics are doing their best to set an altogether lower standard of politically-driven stupidity.
