From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Ezra       help. (1.) A priest among those that returned to Jerusalem under       Zerubabel (Neh. 12:1).                (2.) The "scribe" who led the second body of exiles that       returned from Babylon to Jerusalem B.C. 459, and author of the       book of Scripture which bears his name. He was the son, or       perhaps grandson, of Seraiah (2 Kings 25:18-21), and a lineal       descendant of Phinehas, the son of Aaron (Ezra 7:1-5). All we       know of his personal history is contained in the last four       chapters of his book, and in Neh. 8 and 12:26.                In the seventh year of the reign of Artaxerxes Longimanus (see       {DARIUS}), he obtained leave to go up to Jerusalem and       to take with him a company of Israelites (Ezra 8). Artaxerxes       manifested great interest in Ezra's undertaking, granting him       "all his request," and loading him with gifts for the house of       God. Ezra assembled the band of exiles, probably about 5,000 in       all, who were prepared to go up with him to Jerusalem, on the       banks of the Ahava, where they rested for three days, and were       put into order for their march across the desert, which was       completed in four months. His proceedings at Jerusalem on his       arrival there are recorded in his book.                He was "a ready scribe in the law of Moses," who "had prepared       his heart to seek the law of the Lord and to do it, and to teach       in Israel statutes and judgments." "He is," says Professor       Binnie, "the first well-defined example of an order of men who       have never since ceased in the church; men of sacred erudition,       who devote their lives to the study of the Holy Scriptures, in       order that they may be in a condition to interpret them for the       instruction and edification of the church. It is significant       that the earliest mention of the pulpit occurs in the history of       Ezra's ministry (Neh. 8:4). He was much more of a teacher than a       priest. We learn from the account of his labours in the book of       Nehemiah that he was careful to have the whole people instructed       in the law of Moses; and there is no reason to reject the       constant tradition of the Jews which connects his name with the       collecting and editing of the Old Testament canon. The final       completion of the canon may have been, and probably was, the       work of a later generation; but Ezra seems to have put it much       into the shape in which it is still found in the Hebrew Bible.       When it is added that the complete organization of the synagogue       dates from this period, it will be seen that the age was       emphatically one of Biblical study" (The Psalms: their History,       etc.).                For about fourteen years, i.e., till B.C. 445, we have no       record of what went on in Jerusalem after Ezra had set in order       the ecclesiastical and civil affairs of the nation. In that year       another distinguished personage, Nehemiah, appears on the scene.       After the ruined wall of the city had been built by Nehemiah,       there was a great gathering of the people at Jerusalem       preparatory to the dedication of the wall. On the appointed day       the whole population assembled, and the law was read aloud to       them by Ezra and his assistants (Neh. 8:3). The remarkable scene       is described in detail. There was a great religious awakening.       For successive days they held solemn assemblies, confessing       their sins and offering up solemn sacrifices. They kept also the       feast of Tabernacles with great solemnity and joyous enthusiasm,       and then renewed their national covenant to be the Lord's.       Abuses were rectified, and arrangements for the temple service       completed, and now nothing remained but the dedication of the       walls of the city (Neh. 12).
