1 1959 [Twain, Mark]. Hakebeili Fen li xian ji. Dong Hengxun xu. [ID D29404].
Liu Haiming : Dong Hengxun said that Huckleberry Finn is one of the greatest works of American literature ; the scope of life it reflects is very broad, and the thought reflected in its theme is profound. Dong felt that Jim and Huck's friendship was the central theme of the novel. In the introduction he made an analysis of the differences between the images of these two characters. He also devoted quite a bit of space to an analysis of Twain's artistic style. He pointed out that Twain's humor was 'whimsical without becoming tedious, light without becoming shallow', and that the ideological content of Twain's artistic style was put to use to criticize social, class and racial inequalities. This introduction marked the beginning of independent evaluation of Twain's works by Chinese scholars.

2 1963 Dong Hengxun. Xi ju yi shu de duo luo : Faguo fan xi ju pai [ID D30771].
Dong Hengxun mounts a poignant attack on the French anti-theatre : deviation from realist dramatic tradition ; thematic and artistic absurdity ; pessimistic outlook on life. He further labels this school 'one of the most popular decadent literary schools in the contemporary capitalist world', and one that represents not only a pessimistic outlook but also vicious 'denigration of the world's progressive forces'. Dong deems Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot a quintessential showcase of French anti-theatre. For Dong his plays in general and Waiting for Godot in particular 'are full of riddles, some of which Beckett himself cannot solve'.

3 1965 Dong, Hengxun. Ao man yu pian jian zhong di ai qing miao xie [ID D30615].
Dong thought that the significance of 'a love novel' lay in the degree to which 'social contradictions', or great social problems, are reflected through the descriptions of love and marriage ; as the issue of love and marriage in Pride and prejudice has overwhelmingly dwarfed the expose of 'social contradictions' in a bourgeois country, the novel is politically problematic and thus artistically insignificant. "Austen's fictional world is particularly small. When we read her works, we have no way to feel the pulse of her times."
4 1978 Dong, Hengxun. Meiguo wen xue jian shi [ID D29603].
Li Xilao : The publication played a significant role in renewing interest in the study of American literature. Mark Twain has been given a fairly comprehensive and quite balanced representation.

The editors maintained that Henry David Thoreau played a progressive role emphasizing individual resistance to civil government while neglecting the power of the masses.
6 1978 Dong, Hengxun. Meiguo wen xue jian shi [ID D29603].
Article about Uncle Tom's cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe.
"As its subject matter was based on reality, its writing techniques tended to be realistic. Thus, the book was a break from the romantic tradition that had been dominated in fiction writing for a long time. Its descriptions are vivid and accurate, with strong artistic appeal in some places. It creates with great success different types of black slaves and paints truthful pictures of the disgusting nature of the slave owners, reproducing vividly the Southern society through the experiences of different characters. Although Uncle Tom's cabin is rather loose in structure, and affected in language, and although some of its characters are not fully developed, it deserves to be regarded as an important realistic novel in the history of American literature, a precursor of the movement of realistic fiction emerging after the Civil War."
7 1978 Dong, Hengxun. Meiguo wen xue jian shi [ID D29603].
Dong and his colleagues argue that while Moby Dick contains mysticism – the incomprehensible White Whale suggests Melville's inability to comprehend the powerful drive of American capitalism - Melville's revelation of social inequities and criticism of American capitalist society are obvious throughout. In his preface, Dong also considers Bartleby as a victim of capitalism, for Dong, Bartleby suffers from the depressive alienation of American business life.

8 1996 Dong, Hengxun. Lun Sitanbeike de xing yu shu [ID D30673].
The greatest problem with Steinbeck, according to Dong, is that he was not at all outstanding in literary factors such as form, stylistic devices, and characterization. Even though his 'dramatic fiction' was somewhat original in conception, the lack of depth in the content was a serious flaw. Dong also criticized Steinbeck for his changes in viewpoint, and particularly for his relationship with the political VIPs in the government after the Second World War, and Dong supports his argument with a quotation from Steinbeck's son about his father's attitude toward the Vietnam War and also with Steinbeck's own comment : "Compared with the 30s, it is more difficult to say who are the underdogs in the 50s and 60s".
