"Victorian" literature - is it an ok phrase?

I think that last example (Victoria, the Australian state) would be most likely to occur among Australians if it occurred, and I would suggest it never or rarely does. "Victorian literature" would most certainly be understood to be related to the Queen rather than the state (and the term is used here still in relation to other things as well (eg. architecture, morals).
