《牛津中高地德语指南》是最全面、独立的中高地德语英文版。它涵盖了 1050 年至 1350 年期间德语的语言、文学、历史和文化，专为入门级读者、高级学习、教学和参考而设计。本书包含大量文本样本，不仅来自《埃雷克》、《尼伯龙根之歌》、《帕西法尔》和《特里斯坦》等古典作品，还来自神秘著作、编年史和法律文件；该选择代表了所有主要方言和该时期的完整时间跨度。第一章（“引言”）从语言、地理和时间顺序上定义了中古高地德语。在第二章（“语法和词汇”）中，每一节都以要点总结开始；这些共同构成了一个独立的介绍性语法，后面是详细的段落，供深入学习和参考。第 3 章（“韵律”）涉及韵律、韵律、上下文中的诗行和诗句形式，并包括韵律的实用技巧。第四章（“历史、文化和文学背景”）介绍了中世纪德国的政治和社会结构，并对起源于该时期的主要文本类型进行了调查。第五章（“注释文本的选择”）包括四十多篇文本，每一篇都放在上下文中并配有解释性脚注；前两本书与入门语法一起阅读，是针对新手的。词汇表全面涵盖了课文和整本书中出现的词汇。
The Oxford Guide to Middle High German is the most comprehensive self-contained treatment of Middle High German available in English. It covers the language, literature, history, and culture of German in the period 1050–1350 and is designed for entry-level readers, advanced study, teaching, and reference. The book includes a large sample of texts, not only from Classical works such as Erec, the Nibelungenlied, Parzival, and Tristan, but also from mystical writing, chronicles, and legal documents; the selection represents all major dialects and the full time span of the period. Chapter 1 (‘Introduction’) defines Middle High German linguistically, geographically, and chronologically. In Chapter 2 (‘Grammar and Lexis’) each section begins with a summary of the main points; together, these form a stand-alone introductory grammar, and they are followed by detailed paragraphs for in-depth study and reference. Chapter 3 (‘Versification’) deals with metre, rhyme, lines of verse in context, and verse forms, and includes practical tips for scansion. Chapter 4 (‘Historical, Cultural, and Literary Background’) offers an account of the political and social structures of medieval Germany and a survey of the principal types of texts that originated in the period. Chapter 5 (‘Selection of Annotated Texts’) comprises over forty texts, each placed in context and provided with explanatory footnotes; the first two texts, to be taken together with the introductory grammar, are aimed at newcomers. A glossary provides full coverage of the vocabulary appearing in the texts and throughout the book.
