America is a nation making itself up as it goes along—a story of discovery and invention unfolding in speeches and images, letters and poetry, unprecedented feats of scholarship and imagination. In these myriad, multiform, endlessly changing expressions of the American experience, the authors and editors of this volume find a new American history. In more than two hundred original essays, A New Literary History of America brings together the nation’s many voices. From the first conception of a New World in the sixteenth century to the latest re-envisioning of that world in cartoons, television, science fiction, and hip hop, the book gives us a new, kaleidoscopic view of what “Made in America” means. Literature, music, film, art, history, science, philosophy, political rhetoric—cultural creations of every kind appear in relation to each other, and to the time and place that give them shape. The meeting of minds is extraordinary as T. J. Clark writes on Jackson Pollock, Paul Muldoon on Carl Sandburg, Camille Paglia on Tennessee Williams, Sarah Vowell on Grant Wood’s American Gothic, Walter Mosley on hard-boiled detective fiction, Jonathan Lethem on Thomas Edison, Gerald Early on Tarzan, Bharati Mukherjee on The Scarlet Letter, Gish Jen on Catcher in the Rye, and Ishmael Reed on Huckleberry Finn. From Anne Bradstreet and John Winthrop to Philip Roth and Toni Morrison, from Alexander Graham Bell and Stephen Foster to Alcoholics Anonymous, Life, Chuck Berry, Alfred Hitchcock, and Ronald Reagan, this is America singing, celebrating itself, and becoming something altogether different, plural, singular, new.

《中国当代新诗史》所评述的，是20世纪50-90年代中国新诗①的状况。对于这一时期的中国文学，在很长一段时间里，人们称之为“当代文学”，以和前此30年(从“五四”前后到40年代末)的“现代文学”相区别。目前，尽管不少文学史研究者对诸如“现代”、“当代”的划分提出质疑，淡化这种时期划分，从整体把握20世纪中国文学、中国新诗的设想，也肯定会成为文学史(新诗史)写作的前景。但是，作为一种“过渡”，也为着更深入彰显“当代”的文学、诗歌问题，把1949年以后中国大陆的文学(新诗)作为相对独立的时期来处理，仍有其合理之处。在。20世纪的四五十年代之交，新诗同整个文学一样，发生了重大转折。“转折”的征象，广泛表现在各个方面；而主要表现则是，40年代新诗多种艺术构成的关系发生重要重组，出现了在诗歌观念和艺术方法上统一规范的强大要求，并由此出现了具有“当代特征”的诗体形态。70年代末“文革”结束之后(当代文学史通常称为“新时期”)，诗界出现了反思、重新审视这些观念和规范性要求的潮流，在诗歌写作上出现多种诗歌向度的变革和实验。这种变革、实验的基点和走向，呈现与“当代”前30年诗歌的延伸、悖逆的复杂关系，因而仍与“当代”诗歌已形成的格局发生或隐或明的关联。

This is an attempt to write a history of English literature admittedly with an innovative approach. The traditional as well as the more modern views in the West on literary movements， schools， traditions and influences in the field of English literature and on individual English authors and their major and minor works are here given due respect and serious consideration， but with the reservation sometimes to differ and occasionally to introduce new and totally contrary judgments from the viewpoint of historical materialism i.e.， the writers and their writings are to be given their proper places in each case in accordance with the roles， healthful or otherwise， that they play in the progress of history， social and literary. Of course，whether or how far have I succeeded in these pages in living up to the theory advanced above awaits judgment from my readers.　　This history is written primarily for Chinese readers， in particular for Chinese college students majoring in English language and literature， with the aim to give them a historical survey of English literature from its earliest beginnings down to the 20th century. As many college students in China today are being introduced for the first time to English literature in any systematic way， biographical sketches of the major writers and rather detailed resumes of their major works are generally provided in this history， before I enter into any serious discussions on the authors and their writings.　　A companion-book providing students with selections from representative works of representative English authors， arranged chronologically and accompanied with introductory remarks and notes， is expected to appear at the same time as this history. It is hoped that the two books together， this history and “Selected Readings in English Literature”， will give the students a rudimentary knowledge of English literature in its historical development.　　In view of the vastly different levels of proficiency in the English language among English majors in Chinese colleges and universities today， a shorter history than this， written in simpler language， seems also necessary for the present. Such a book is now being prepared.

《中古文学系年(套装上下册)》是陆侃如先生的遗著，全稿八十余万字，是他在一九三十七年至一九四七年花费十年时间写成的。解放以后，他对原稿又不断进行修改、补充，直到一九七八年十二月一日逝世为止，因而，《中古文学系年(套装上下册)》可说是他生前的一部力作。 《中古文学系年(套装上下册)》以年为纲，以人为目，上自公元前五三年扬雄生，下迄公元三五一年卢谌死，共收录中古时期一百五十二位作家，详细考证了他们的生平事迹、著作篇目及著作年代。书中征引书籍数百种，资料极为丰富，对史书记载和旧说不确者，则时有订下，解决了不少疑问题，对中古文学的研究，具有较大的参考价值。

《文学史书写形态与文化政治》的进路与上述的研究有同有异。分别的地方是，《文学史书写形态与文化政治》主要以个别的“文学史”书写文本为对象。简言之，也就是朱星元所提的“写法”和“读法”的进路。《文学史书写形态与文化政治》各章略依时序讨论：由晚清京师大学堂《章程》与现代“文学”学科观念的建立，以至与“文学史”草创期书写的关系开始，到“五四”前后胡适以“白话文学运动”建构影响深远的文学史观，再到40年代林庚以“诗心”唤起“惊异”的《中国文学史》，转到由中原南迁的柳存仁和司马长风在50年代及70年代香港进行的两种性质完全不同的文学史书写，最后以两种“进行中”的书写活动为对象，看“中国文学史”要添加“香港文学”部分时，或者“香港文学”要进入“文学史”的过程中，所要应付的各种书写问题。
