How did Charles Dickens deal with his later works?

The physical settings are sometimes a mixture of the contemporary and the recollected past,the stories, though usually double- or multiple-plotted, are much better structured, and the institutions are important not only in themselves but as metaphors for a repressive social psychology.The attack now becomes more urgent and passionate, and this urgency creates novels of great compactness and concentration.As Dickens “explores more bleakly a bleaker world," there are fewer jokes and the comedy becomes harsher.The happy ending is there no more.
