Synopsis

My Rest Cure is a memoir written by George Robey, a British comedian, and performer. The book was published in 1919 and chronicles Robey's experience with a rest cure, a popular treatment for nervous disorders and mental illnesses during the early 20th century. Robey's story begins with his decision to take a rest cure after experiencing exhaustion and burnout from his busy career. He describes his initial skepticism about the treatment, but ultimately decides to give it a try. The rest cure involves complete relaxation, isolation from the outside world, and a strict regimen of diet and exercise. Throughout the book, Robey shares his thoughts and experiences during his time in the rest cure facility. He describes the challenges he faced, including boredom, loneliness, and frustration with the strict rules. However, he also reflects on the positive aspects of the treatment, such as the opportunity to rest and reflect on his life and career. In addition to his personal experiences, Robey also provides a historical context for the rest cure, discussing its origins and popularity during the early 20th century. He also includes anecdotes and observations about the other patients he encountered during his stay. Overall, My Rest Cure provides a unique glimpse into a popular but controversial treatment for mental illness during the early 20th century. Robey's humor and wit make the book an entertaining and insightful read for anyone interested in the history of mental health treatment.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
