I know textbooks aren't the typical thing to list here but Hart & Wechsler's The Federal Courts and the Federal System has always seemed to me a major work in the field. One could argue that it pretty much created the field. Plus, it bears the imprimatur of so many great writers on the subject, not only the two original authors but also its current editors (Meltzer, Fallon, Shapiro).

For better or worse, Hart's Dialectic on the Power of Congress to Limit the Jurisdiction of the Federal Courts in the Harvard Law Review is still, to me, an all-time classic, as is Van Alstyne's Critical Guide to Ex parte McCardle in the Arizona Law Review, and Ely's Irrepressible Myth of Erie, also in Harvard.
