I’d add Poul Anderson to the list as well as all those mentioned in the article and by the commenters. He was as influential to fantasy writers as Tolkien and drew from the same well of memory, mythology and faery & folk tales.

I reread it every couple of years to remind myself why I love the genre.
Considering fantasy fiction is my favourite genre, I’m surprised that I’ve only read one of the books on this list.
