If you are interested in any serious and practical research how to distinguish good evidence and bad evidence of Shakespeare authorship research methods listen to this  basic lecture of  Prof. Walter Hurst , Louisburg College in North Carolina

In particular he gives detailed insights into the book of Robert Hume: "Reconstructing contexts". This book attempts to define methods by which scholars can reconstruct past context in order to apply it to the interpretation of works and events of that time.

Hurst offers examples of good and bad historicist Shakespeare authorship reconstruction and interpretation.
