You had me all excited. I thought a writer from Victoria British Columbia had a new novel out.
No, seriously, the Victorian age is a well known concept in my part of the world, but then again Canada was once a colony so possibly not as well known in all parts of the world.
The English Empire reigned far and wide and there are many places named after Queen Victoria.
If it's acceptable to name furniture styles and architectural styles "Victorian", I see no reason not to place a novel in the "Victorian literature" era.
WDE.
