Modern natural sound isn't really what I like, I guess
Although I have been intrigued by the recent translations of Chrétien and Robert de Boron, they also lack the charm and archaic language of William Morris's faux romances. So maybe what I need are Victorian translations, although my googling from Morris revealed lots of Middle English words so he perhaps read originals. Or, apparently he was a big fan of Scott's Waverly, so I might try that, although I have previously given up on Ivanhoe.
