"Victorian" literature - is it an ok phrase?

In another post I described a novel as 'Victorian' literature.
(I.e. dating from the reign of Queen Victoria in Britain.)

But, now I'm wondering if this isn't an Anglo-centric phrase that won't mean much to many people in a world-wide forum. And some may think it's an Australian book (or from somewhere else with a 'Victoria' placename).

Would it be better just to use early/mid/late nineteenth century instead?
