Supposing you're asked by a beginning writer which books he should read to improve his skills in writing fantasy, you might say Tolkien's, and similarly, you might say Asimov's for scifi, etc.

I'd like to write an historical fiction. Which authors/titles would you recommend as "study material"? Not solely popular stuff, but also material from which I can actually learn the craft.
