漢語中的“人文”意指人類社會的各種文化現象,語出《易‧賁》︰“文明以止,人文也。觀乎天文,以察看時變;觀乎人文,以化成天下。”在拉丁語中humanities主要指人性和教養.但隨著人類文明史的延綿,人文在廣義上不僅涉指社會現象和文化藝術。而且生成了包括哲學、經濟學、政治學、史學、法學、文藝學、倫理學、語言學、文學等相對于自然科學的學科領域,稱為人文學科(humanities)。《英語人文讀本‧英國篇》並不收錄人文學科的研究著述,也不是羅列或展示當今社會中的萬千氣象。該書旨在引領讀者避開當下喧囂和浮躁的氛圍,進入一種冷靜的人文思考。
本書收錄的文章主題重經典意義和收藏價值。內容涉及倫理道德、宗教習俗、婚姻家庭、人際關系、大眾文化、人文修養、心理健康、語言文學、經濟政治、哲學美學等。寫作體裁不限,包括議論文、散文、短篇自傳、隨筆、短篇小說等。每篇選文讀來或是溫馨甜蜜。或是發人深思,或是深情雋永,或是詼諧幽默,具有驅惡趨善.規諫或激勵人生的精神作用。
