A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

No, just no. A book written in the 19th century, with vocabulary from the 15th? century, following a story structure from the NO century.

Mark Twain, just like not many, but ALL of the classic writers, bears no attraction to me. The opposite actually. I can't stand his prose, his story structure, nothing.

I think it starts in the present, explaining how the protagonist (the author himself?) is visiting some old castle, and he meets an old timer who starts telling some tales of the old chivalry times. Then it changes perspective, and all of a sudden a very flourished Sir Lancelot tale is being told.

I hate this old knight tales, that more resemble a poem, and have no content whatsoever. Sir Lancelot, who is valiant, gallant, invincible, and... I can't take this any more.
