张晓红主编的《美国文学（全国英语专业博雅系列教材）》主要分为诗歌以及散文和小说两部分。至于每篇作品的赏析和提问部分，我们更是谨慎地认为，美国文学直至现在所呈现出的多元性，要求我们必须远离各种主义，尽量不做给作品“戴帽子”“贴标签”，甚至避免将作品主题单一化和程式化。好在文学批评是相对独立的再创造过程，它忠于作品，但又不为作品所缚。另外，“书有未曾经我读”，我们暂且能称得上熟知的角度、领域、批评方法、理论基础都是相对化、个性化的选择。所用“赏析”二字，可配得上我们的心情，但我们也大量翻阅了有价值的参考文献，再加上我们对这本书预期阅读对象等因素的考虑，本书在每一个作家模块中都列出了推荐书目或网站。
