Set in 1919, The Greatest Living Englishman tells the comedic adventures of "England's Worst Poet"; Colin Gilfeather Millaney, an egotistical, self-proclaimed, poet who is wholly untouched with even the faintest speck of talent. When a letter arrives, inviting him to come to New York and tour, reading his "runaway bestselling" book of poetry, he is off like a shot. But, his unlikely rise to fame is due to a clerical error at the publishing house - it is the work of the budding young poet, Edna St. Vincent Millay, they have published - not Millaney.
