When exactly emily norcross and edward dickinson met, it isn't known. We know that they did start to court after he had gone to munson on business. Their courtship lasted for two years, and most of it was by letter. Emily didn't want to leave munson. She was very close to her family. Her own father had helped build the educational system in munson just like edwards had in amherst. A lot of them spelled out what he expected of a wife, you know, his ideal wife. This is what i want you to mould yourself into, he said. she should be amiable, virtuous, prudent and intelligent and benevolent.
