[edit] Three Levels of Ideology

Hollindales most renowned theory was that of the three levels of ideology in a text which pertained to all four modern reading approaches (author-centred, reader-centred, text-centred, world-view-centred).

The levels are as follows: 1) The author's profound message in a text 2) The unexamined assumptions of the author 3) The ideologies of the author's world
