(I studied English in university, so I'm fairly interested in this topic, and there are people close to me who teach English at the high school level, so I think I tend to be fairly aware of this type of thing. it may very well work differently in different places though)

My very vague understanding of this is that literature is a little bit "ahead" of music theory in this regard. But there's still a long way to go. Like I alluded to earlier, what's considered the literary canon is quite centered in Europe and eventually the US. Heck, look at the Nobel Prize and you'll see that it's still heavily favoring western authors.
