How does Lockwood describe the Yorkshire section of England in Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte?

In Chapter I of Wuthering Heights,
the narrator--a man named Lockwood--describes the section of Yorkshire,
England where the novel's action will take place. He
begins:

This
is certainly a beautiful country! In all England, I do not believe that I could have
fixed on a situation so completely removed from the stir of society. A
perfect misanthropist's
heaven...

Lockwood has come
to the region seeking peace and quiet.  He believes that he has found a perfect place
for a misanthrope--someone who dislikes human company.  This is a foreshadowing, of
course, of the personality of Heathcliff, a man who is difficult with everyone,
including his beloved Catherine.

Later in the chapter,
Lockwood discusses the name of Heathcliff's house, Wuthering Heights.  He tells us that
"Wuthering" is a local Yorkshire dialect word that refers to an "atmospheric tumult to
which [the house] is exposed in stormy weather."  Here, again, the setting hints at the
action that will take place later: there will be stormy love affairs and stormy
conflicts at Wuthering Heights.
