Try reading Ulysses with a mental skeleton of an Arthurian tale as its framework. Think in terms of 1) a Quest, 2) is the main character an archetype, such as a Lancelot or a Galahad, and 3) is there chivalry or courtly love according to the codes?
Have you studied Arthurian literature yet? I would highly recommend the Arthurian Encyclopedia, if it weren't a big heavy pbook.
To the medieval section, why not track down "The Knight of the Cart." It's 13th century, and lays a lot of groundwork for what eventually becomes our popular ideas of Arthurian. And it will work well with Gawain and the Green Knight.
