Prominent historian of the early United States, Dr. Richard Bell, explores the monumental impact of the Declaration of Independence on the occasion of its 250th anniversary in 2026.

Dr. Bell takes you through the shockwaves that still reverberate today as he discusses his Great Course The Declaration of Independence: America’s Birth Certificate (releases 5/22/2026) and his recent award-winning book The American Revolution and the Fate of the World (Penguin Random House).

He will also share the Revolutionary era’s impact on the Caribbean world, drawing from his upcoming cruise with The Great Courses Journeys, “Caribbean Crossroads: Rival Empires in Paradise.”

We may not be a pharaoh, but we think our new name deserves some special attention, too!

Starting on June 4, the streaming service known as Wondrium will transform back into The Great Courses Plus.

The service will still have the award-winning professors and courses you know and love, plus new releases and never-before-streamed classics from The Great Courses vault every month.

“What’s in a name?”

At The Great Courses, our name is a promise to bring you the most engaging, enriching, and trusted learning experiences. That’s why, after three years of being known as “Wondrium,” our streaming service is going back to its roots.

Starting on June 4, the official streaming home of The Great Courses will once again be known as “The Great Courses Plus.” We're refocusing on our core academic content—like Professor Conner’s classic course, How to Read and Understand Shakespeare.

We’ll continue to challenge you to explore new ideas about the world and yourself, while providing the kind of deep satisfaction you can only get from learning something new.
