Benjamin Leopold Farjeon (1838–1903) was an Anglo-Jewish writer, noted for his prolific contributions to Victorian literature, particularly in the realm of mystery and sensation novels. Born in London, to a family of Jewish lineage, Farjeon moved to Australia in his early years but returned to England in 1868, where he pursued a successful career as an author. His literary style is characterized by a blending of suspense, moral reflections, and a touch of melodrama—a composite that made his work popular among the readers of his time. Farjeon's novel 'Joshua Marvel' illustrates his ability to intertwine social commentary with enthralling storytelling. The book stands testament to his concern with the challenges and injustices faced by the lower classes, a recurring theme in his work. Farjeon's other notable books include 'Grif: A Story of Australian Life,' which reflects his experience in Australia, and 'Mystery of M. Felix,' showcasing his knack for the mystery genre. His contribution to Victorian literature has been acknowledged by critics, who note his flair for creating engaging plots and his influence on the development of the detective and mystery novel. Though not as widely remembered today as some of his contemporaries, Farjeon's work remains of interest to scholars studying the period and the evolution of genre fiction in the 19th century.
