Heather Lusty (Honors) just published The Border Line: Soldier Stories by D.H. Lawrence  (edited with Introduction) with Palamedes Classic. The short-story collection is the first to focus solely on Lawrence's representations of the soldier figure. The author's own tumultuous experience with the Military Service Act (1916) left a profound mark on his representations of masculinity and national service; Lawrence was called to report for inspection multiple times, and rejected consistently for poor health (and his German wife). His stories explore myriad facets of the public understanding of duty, the misery of enlisted life, and the plight of the decommissioned soldier's adjustment to the home front.
