Peter Hollindale (born 1936) is an educationalist and literary critic.

Peters old office resides in what is now M block, Derwent College and a recent door plaque which was uncovered serves as a tribute at his many years spent at the university (1936-1999)[1]

Three Levels of Ideology

Hollindale's 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
