I can't dislike William Morris's textual work because of A Dream of John Ball and "The Defence of Guenevere," even if it's imperfect (both those two and the romanticizing translations/reworkings). Yes, in its way the over-the-top stuff is pretty cool. Lots of his texts are online, too.

Hatto is fairly reliable, but I didn't say "super readable." :) And a surprising-to-me number of medievalists who work on literatures of relevant linguistic continua haven't heard of Þiðrekssaga, FWIW. If I figure out a cost-effective way to scan my old photocopies--over a dozen filing feet worth--I can send it your way, if you'd like. I mean, I really need to figure out something for the bulk of my photocopy collection anyway.
