On the challenge posed by Austin to international law, see Michael Lobban, “En glish
Approaches to International Law in the Nineteenth Century,” in Matthew D. R. Cra-
ven, M. Fitzmaurice, and Maria Vogiatzi (eds.), Time, History and International Law,
65– 90 (Martinus Nijhoff , 2007), 78– 88.
On Wheaton, see Mark W. Janis, Th e American Tradition of International Law:
Great Expectations 1789– 1914 (Oxford University Press, 2004), 40– 48; and Randall
Lesaff er, “Roman Law and the Early Historiography of International Law: Ward,
Wheaton, Hosack and Walker,” in Th ilo Marauhn and Heinhard Steiger (eds.), Uni-
versality and Continuity in International Law, 149– 84 (Eleven International, 2011),
160– 69, who fi rmly presents him as a middle- ground or transitional fi gure rather
than as a true positivist. Hefft er has been seriously neglected. Ingo J. Hueck, “Pragma-
tism, Positivism and Hegelianism in the Nineteenth Century: August Wilhelm Heff -
ter’s Notion of Public International Law,” in Michael Stolleis and Masaharu Yanagi-
hara (eds.), East Asian and Eu ro pe an Perspectives on International Law, 41– 55
(Nomos, 2004) actually contains only a small amount of material on him. A. Pearce
Higgins, “La contribution de quatre grands juristes britaniques au droit interna-
tional,” 40 RdC 1– 85 (1932) is a very useful work, dealing with Westlake (23– 43) and
Hall (44– 65).
Oppenheim is unusual in being lavishly attended to. See Walter Schiff er, Th e Legal
Community of Mankind: A Critical Analysis of the Modern Concept of World Or ga ni-
za tion (Columbia University Press, 1954), 79– 96; Mathis Schmoeckel, “Lassa Oppen-
heim (1858– 1919),” in Jack Beatson and Reinhard Zimmermann (eds.), Jurists Up-
rooted: German- Speaking Émigré Lawyers in Twentieth- Century Britain, 538– 99
(Oxford University Press, 2004); Benedict Kingsbury, “Legal Positivism as Normative
Politics: International Society, Balance of Power and Lassa Oppenheim’s Positive In-
ternational Law,” in Stolleis and Yanagihara (eds.), East Asian and Eu ro pe an Perspec-
tives, 139– 77; Amanda Perreau- Saussine, “A Case Study on Jurisprudence as a Source
of International Law: Oppenheim’s Infl uence,” in Craven, Fitzmaurice, and Vogiatzi
(ed s.), Time, History and International Law, 91– 117; and Mathias Schmoeckel, “Th e
Story of a Success: Lassa Oppenheim and His ‘International Law’,” in Stolleis and
Yanagihara (eds.), East Asian and Eu ro pe an Perspectives, 57– 138.
Anzilotti has also received a reasonable degree of attention. See Angelo Piero
Sereni, Th e Italian Conception of International Law (Columbia University Press,
1943), 213– 44; and Giorgio Gaja, “Positivism and Dualism in Dionisio Anzilotti,” 3
EJIL 123– 38 (1992). On his seminal contribution to the law of state responsibility in
par tic u lar, see Pierre- Marie Dupuy, “Dionisio Anzilotti and the Law of International
Responsibility of States,” 3 EJIL 139– 48 (1992). Th e major treatment of Triepel is Ulrich
M. Gassner, Heinrich Triepel: Leben und Werk (Duncker und Humblot, 1999). See also
Alexander Hollerbach, “Zu Leben und Werk Heinrich Triepels,” 91 Archiv für öff entli-
