His early works were written in collaboration with James Rice, producing popular novels such as 'Ready-Money Mortiboy' and 'The Golden Butterfly'. After Rice's death, Besant continued to write prolifically, often intertwining social concerns with his tales, which was a signifying trait of his literary style.
