I've read Tolkien but that's about it. I love that kind of world (pretty much what OP hates). I haven't read much other fantasy so what's worth reading? (I love Elves if that helps, especially the super-powerful variety.)

Ye Originale British Fantasy may be Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene, although it's marred by obvious anti-Catholicism and unsubtle moralizing. Most of the characters are nominally fairies.

I mentioned E. R. Eddison's The Worm Ouroboros upstream, which doesn't take place in a fantasy version of medieval western Europe but very obviously influenced Tolkien. The novel is an epic tale of warriors, swordfighters, magicians, kings, damsels in distress, mountain journeys, interior design, etc. It's ~~gloriously~~ unsurprisingly amoral.

Despite never finishing Fletcher Pratt's The Well of the Unicorn, I'm going to go ahead and recommend it as an example of medieval European fantasy, since it's received high praise consistently over the past few decades. (I liked most of what I read of it; I just never reached the conclusion.)

Don't know if you'll still see this, but Tad Williams' Osten Ard is very Middle Earth-ish: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory,_Sorrow,_and_Thorn
