《英美小說與電影》（第二版）由上下篇八個(gè)單元組成，上篇介紹四位英國(guó)作家及其代表作；下篇介紹四位美國(guó)作家及其代表作。所選作家和作品都是英美文學(xué)史上影響廣泛，英語專業(yè)必讀的作家作品，并有觀賞性較強(qiáng)的相應(yīng)電影。每個(gè)單元包括作家作品介紹、小說選讀以及多種練習(xí)。小說選讀除了常見的章節(jié)選讀外，還有從小說中選出的與電影重要場(chǎng)景相關(guān)的段落，以及可以在講解或觀賞電影時(shí)作為參考的重要引語和段落選讀。
第二版對(duì)第一版學(xué)習(xí)者在閱讀中遇到的難點(diǎn)和問題給予了一一解答，大幅增加釋義和注釋，增加有助理解的小說人物介紹和選讀，調(diào)整部分練習(xí)；對(duì)大學(xué)英語四級(jí)詞匯中的積極詞匯及超四級(jí)詞匯仍采用漢譯旁注；對(duì)需要較多解釋的知識(shí)點(diǎn)用尾注，在尾注中增加了文學(xué)和文化知識(shí)的介紹；并把在教材中多次出現(xiàn)的生詞（大多是六級(jí)和托福詞匯）做成詞匯表附在教材后。第二版更適合不同級(jí)別的英美文學(xué)愛好者學(xué)習(xí)使用。
