His publications include currently 133 books and more than 810 articles, beginning with a study on Oswald von Wolkenstein and his Italian sources (1987), a post-structuralist interpretation of Wolfram von Eschenbach's Titurel (1990), a comparative analysis of 15th-century autobiographical European poetry (1991), a monograph on the German Volksbuch (1995), a critical investigation of late- medieval songbooks (2001), and an extensive investigation of the communicative community as portrayed in Middle High German literature (Verzweiflung und Hoffnung, 2002). Since then, he has published scores of new monographs and edited volumes, most recently on The Forest in Medieval German Literature (2015), Reading Medieval European Women Writers (2016), Water in Medieval Literature (2018), Toleration and Tolerance in Medieval and Early Modern European Literature (2018), The Relevance of The Humanities in the Twenty-First Century (2020), Prostitution in Medieval and Early Modern Literature (2021), Charlemagne in Medieval German and Dutch Literature (2021), Tracing the Trails in the Medieval World (2021), Wisdom from the European Middle Ages (2022), The Secret in Medieval Literature (2022), Globalism in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Age (ed., 2023), and Der Niederrheinische Orientbericht, vol. 1350 (trans., 2024).
