The moorland that Emily Brontë describes in her novel “Wuthering Heights” is a combination of areas that she knew such as the moor around Haworth, the village where she was born.
I have read a lot of critical studies on the novel which, when referring to the moor around Wuthering Heights (the protagonist’s home), employ both “the moor” and “the moors”. I was wondering if they can be used indifferently, if it is just a matter of personal choice.
Thanks
