Steven Reid specialises on the intellectual, political and religious history of Scotland between c. 1450 and c. 1650, especially the life and reign of James VI in Scotland (1567-1603). His recent book, The Early Life of James VI: A Long Apprenticeship, 1566-1585 (Edinburgh, 2023) is the first detailed narrative of James’ childhood and rise to power, and fundamentally re-assesses James' early court, household, his relationship with his mother and key favourites, and the factional struggles of this period. He is also working on a short monograph on the life and career of Archbishop Patrick Adamson (1537-1592), which has a stronger emphasis on church-state relations in the first three decades after the Scottish Protestant Reformation of 1560.
