The Cambridge Companion to Victorian and Edwardian Theatre
Not sure about scietific accuracy of this work, I guess you have to be a literature scientist yourself and spend a lot of time in the libraries carefully examining all the facts compiled in this book, but if you take this work as a let's say half-fiction, letting it entertain you - it will tell you a thriller story indeed.
Spoilers here would be deadly, but basically this book is one of those stories (and perhaps one of the best in its genre) about that Stattford guy not being an author of all those great plays and sonets.
