The textbook my beginning short story class is using, _The Story And Its
Writer: An Introduction to Short Fiction_ by Ann Charters, seems to be a
mini-version of what you're looking for, I think. The first section is an
anthology of authors and stories, with a corresponding selection of
essays in the second section with advice, speculation,
how-the-story-was-written, etc.
Not an encyclopedia, but interesting in a limited but similar way.
