Has anyone looked at the architectural space that Wuthering Heights represents? I want to do a comparative literture review of two books

I plan to use Gaston Bachalard. Poetics of Space - this describes the intimate, imaginative and poetic approach towards the expererience of architectural space.

Compare it to Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights - which describes a backdrop for a passionate drama set within an architectural space.
