Google Books (the University of California)  a"Joshua Marvel" by B. L. Farjeon is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the titular character, Joshua Marvel, who is the son of a wood-turner in Stepney. As the novel unfolds, readers are set to explore themes of aspiration, familial expectations, and the struggle for identity against the backdrop of a working-class family.  The opening of the book introduces the Marvel family, consisting of George Marvel, a wood-turner, his wife, and their two children, including Joshua. Despite their humble means, the family experiences love and respect in their overcrowded parish. Joshua grapples with his future and expresses a strong desire not to follow in his father's trade, leading to family discussions filled with both hope and uncertainty. As Joshua rejects the notion of being a wood-turner, his mother wishes for him to find purpose while his father ambiguously supports his son's pursuit of a different path, setting the stage for Joshua's eventual quest for self-discovery and ambition.
