After a year of graduate work at the University of Manchester in England, Goldfarb returned to Canada and worked briefly in the publishing industry as a copyeditor in Toronto before returning to academia, obtaining graduate degrees in English from the University of Manitoba and the University of British Columbia.
In the academic world, he specialized in Victorian literature, especially the works of the novelist William Makepeace Thackeray, on whom he published two books. In the mid-1990s he left the UBC English Department to take a degree in archival studies, which led to a position running the archives at the University of British Columbia Alma Mater Society. His only novel Remember, Remember, a murder mystery for young adults set in Victorian Manchester, was published by The UKA Press in 2005.
