Excellent question. It is definitely cross-genre, but is usually accepted as Science Fiction because of the Utopian / Dystopian view of the future (albeit allegorical), and because George Orwell is often put in the Science Fiction section for other works. This novel also won a Hugo award, which is a traditionally Science-Fiction genre prize.

It could be put under classics, or if the bookstore or library has a satire section, that is another traditional categorization. No clear-cut "this is it" answer here.

From Shmoop Literature on George Orwell's Animal Farm http://www.shmoop.com/literary-device/literature/george-orwell/animal-farm/setting.html Setting England, on a farm. The setting fits the book, as you might expect. As far as time goes, the political implications of the 1940's are weighty, and in fact the central core on which the story's parable focuses.
