Literary work
As a gymnasium student Badalić edited the periodical Ljiljan where he published his first poem in 1867 (Berba). He received literary recognition with the historic poem Panem et circenes (Vijenac, 1874). Badalić's poetry, published in his Izabrane pjesme ("Selected poems", 1896), quite popular at the time, and also set to music according to Illyrian customs (Hatze, Ja ne znam što je majka mi), is also represented in modern anthologies (Danica, 1973; Majka, 1973; Vječnotraž, 1975). His poetry encompasses various literary genres, including romantic (Bolna djevojka), odic (to Ljudevit Gaj), and elegies (U Jurjevcu), thematically mainly focussing to patriotic and occasional motifs.
Based on the drama Nikolas Graf von Zriny oder die Belagerung von Sigeth by German Romanticist Theodor Körner, which premièred the opening of the new theatre building at St. Mark's Square in 1834, Badalić wrote the libretto for the historical opera Nikola Šubić Zrinski by Ivan Zajc (published in Hrvatski dom, 1876). He was also a translator of theatrical pieces by Scribe and Deschamps, Shakespeare, Goethe, and other authors.
