《英國文學史及選讀》自首版以來多次重印，暢銷不衰，其所倡導的「史」「選」結合之編寫方式成為同類教材的共同理念，進而成為英美文學課程教學通行的做法。為呼應新時代文學類課程的新需求，在深入調研的基礎上，特推出第二版教材。在繼承經典之外，第二版教材還有如下特色：
力求完整呈現英國文學史全貌：在更新經典作家生平材料和作品選篇之外，增補現當代尤其是二戰之後重要的作家和作品，增補一定數量的女性作家和作品。
「史」「論」結合，加強理論儲備：在文學作品賞析方面適當引入文藝批評理論知識，以幫助學生更好地鑒賞分析作品，為將來的學習和研究打下基礎。
課後思考討論，促進深入學習與思考：新增的課後思考討論題從文學技巧分析到中外文學比較，多角度引導學生獨立思考，提升思辨能力與文學鑒賞水平。
