Classics of Fantasy

Back in 2002, Wizards of the Coast had a series of articles on "the classics of fantasy", naming a lot of obscure and not-so-obscure writers, including those pre-Tolkien and post-Tolkien. I've taken the liberty of compiling the links here. Sadly, the series has been discontinued.
