Three levels of ideology

[edit]

Hollindale's most renowned theory[according to whom?] 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
