This review is from: Wuthering Heights: Complete, Authoritative Text With Biographical and Historical Contexts, Critical Story and Essays from Five Contemporary Critical (Paperback)
The Case Studies in Contemporary Criticism Series has done excellent work in showing different ways of looking at the Wuthering Heights text. I liked how the criticisms were collected after the text with the critical positions clearly explained first.

Set on the moors, it is a pity that the Hound of the Baskervilles didn't get 'em. This would have saved a lot of characters a lot of grief.
An orphan is taken in, and the problems start there as he grows up, has his own problems and inflicts them on others.
The great detective has something to say about such places :
"But look at these lonely houses, each in its own fields, filled
for the most part with poor ignorant folk who know little of the law. Think of
the deeds of hellish cruelty, the hidden wickedness which may go on, year in,
year out, in such places, and none the wiser. Had this lady who appeals to us
for help gone to live in Winchester, I should never have had a fear for her. It
is the five miles of country which makes the danger."
