Abstract

How might the title of Quinnopolis vs. Hamlet preliminarily inform our reading of this play? The "versus" seems to promise pugilistic as well as legal antagonism; more speculatively, this review posits an antagonism between staged productions and filmic conventions, with special attention to the song (and John Ford film) My Darling Clementine (1946).
